A couple days ago, a CARE package arrived from Wisconsin.

Today, I finally felt well enough to open it.

   

Thanks, Greg!

I then proceeded to remove both 1st and 2nd IF transformers from the Zenith chassis. Then, I pulled the assembly out of the 2nd IF can, attached new wires, polished up the can, and installed it in the Zenith.

Before installation, however, I did make myself a wiring diagram showing how it should be hooked back up:

   

And that is as far as I went this evening.

Plans for this weekend:

• Open up the 1st IF transformer and install new wires on it, polish up the can, reassemble and install in the Zenith.
  
• Install the antenna choke in place of the Philco RF choke.
  
• See if I still have a Philco in my shrinking collection that has a speaker with an 1100 ohm field and a single ended output transformer which will match a 42/6F6 output tube, that I can borrow long enough to try out the radio.
  

Once all of the "new" old parts are installed in the radio, I do not expect it to have any issues.

We shall see...
