It's a long story but since I don't type I'll keep it short.
Part 1 About 6 yrs ago I picked up a 200X @ Ktown for a reasonable price. Got home and gave the hairy eyeball to find that the chassis had been significantly modified. All of the IF transformers had been replaced with standard replacements (no tertiary windings), no IF trimmers under the chassis, and no 10kc filter. This means no hifi. So being the optimist that I am I'll see if I can find some original IF transformers. That didn't work out. Then I started to look at the 201. That might be possible the frequency is a bit higher (175kc vs 260kc) but if I could get the osc coil too that might workout.

Part 2 Started on that. Gary over at PTOTP had a 201 chassis and I asked him what he would want for it. He said that it was too heavy to ship what parts did I need? IF transformers and osc coil. Ok. I asked if he was attending Ktown and he gave a positive reply. Why don't you put the chassis in your van and we'll a cut a deal for the whole thing? OK. A few months go by and Ktown is here. I get there and am hanging at the Philco booth but decide to take wander to see whats for sales around. Get back to the booth and there was 3 IFTs and a osc coil waiting for me. Later settle up w/Gary and got home. Was happy to get the hard to come by parts but still some hurdles to overcome.

Part 3 I was thinking that the phasing of the tertiary windings would critical and sorting the osc coil connections may be little bit of a task too. Mean while I had a bunch of other Philco projects going. A 116X,116B, 660L, 42-854, 16B, several 84b's, 80, 39-80, and 41-300. The 200X has been around for a while! I was talking with Kirk and found that he had done a basement cleanout and gleaned a 200/201X. Originally I wanted to borrow the chassis and or service it for him so I could sort out this 200 w/the wrong IFTs I was getting to build. We ended up working out an arrangement for it.
Part 4 The condition this set well the chassis is pretty good. It's had some repairs done over the years but all done neat, nice and well. The cabinet is kinda rough like a keg of ribbed drywall nails. That's the bad new but the good news is that I have a 200X parts cabinet.

Back to the electronics side of things. There is two different chassis configurations for the 201. One has a bunch bakelite blocks. The other has a phenalic board in the center with a half doz tubular cap on it. This style is the one that shown it the service information. I  found a clue that there was a service bulletin on this set. Eventually I posted over on arf and EGG (Gregg) helped find the sb which was in our library. Just wasn't listed by model but by date first. It's #209 https://philcoradio.com/library/download...es%202.pdf I did find out that there are couple more of the odd sets around. Waiting on some parts to come over the bridge from NJ before I get started on it. Fun begins...
