1935 Philco 144
#8

I'm still in a quandary with this chassis. We ordered and received a 44 chassis, in hopes of doing some organ transplanting.
The antenna transformer coil has been replaced. The replacement from the 44 was an exact replacement (Part #2 in the Schematic) and checks out.
It turns out the 1st IF coil has been replaced with a non-Philco part.
I jumpered in the 1st IF from the 44 chassis. The part numbers are not the same.
Radio is still deaf as a post.
A schematic with coil values would be helpful, so I know what to look for.
I'm guessing this chassis was a victim of a lightning strike, since there's a char mark on the chassis near the wave trap, the toasted Antenna Transformer, and now the discovery of the replacement 1st IF.
Any further suggestions? Or Ideas where to look?

Blessings,
