Help to id Philco condenser block
#11

How's the oscillator coil in this one?

Terry,

Thanks, I'll go ahead and use what I have to replace the 325 ohm resistor. Yes, the OSC is fine and so is the antenna coil; the one I had to rewind on the other set. The resistance was within limits so it checked good, but I pulled it anyway to check its physical condition. The windings shine like the day they were made...no evidence of the "creeping green grunge" at all! Icon_biggrin

The Philco data sheet on the cap blocks shows a couple of the blocks I'm going to rebuild using 1000V and 1200V caps; hence the reason for the question. If you feel 630V is OK, then that's what it will be. Not much volume though, even after changing the 4 meg cap to a 2 meg in the IF can.

Best regards,
Kico
