Philco 37-640
#10

Today I started on the IF section of the chassis. I'm about half way through it now. Interestingly, the resistors in this section seem to have stayed in tolerance much better than the ones in the tuning section., so I have left them be. There's enough with replacing all the paper condensers. The mica condensers are also well in tolerance. This section is a lot easier than the tuning section, although things are still stuffed in. I don't think Philco really intended that these radios would be rebuilt eighty years after they were made. I don't think they even imagined that they would be considered collectors items.
