Philco 40-180 Chassis Restore
#8

Another question for the group more out of curiosity. Has anyone had success with opening the broadcast loop assembly without destroying the cardboard cylinder? Mine is in really good shape with the exception of the completely rotted rubber coated leads. Looks like it is stapled to a wooden plate at the top and bottom, but wasn’t sure if it is also glued. At this point, looks like my options are either heat shrink around the existing wires or splice, solder, and heat shrink new wires to a portion of the existing ones. Was just curious what others have done with these loop assemblies.
