Philco 40-180 Chassis Restore
#34

I have an idea to run by the group. For those who’ve worked on a 40-180 before, you likely know about the alignment instructions stating that the loop cylinder is to remain in the cabinet during the RF alignment. I unfortunately do not have small hands, so am going to have to align on the bench. I’m thinking of connecting the loop and SW loop to a 6 screw terminal block which would allow me to keep both loops in the cabinet and then connect lengths of wire between the terminal block and respective terminals on the chassis. I’d keep these wires as short as possible. Thoughts on if this will work?
