Philco 90 Highboy Middle Repair
#25

Success! Radio is playing perfectly. I measured the length of the windings and took a picture, zoomed in and counted 94 turns. I rewound the coil with the new 38 gauge magnet wire, it was difficult to keep track of the turns, so I wound it till I reached the length measured. I counted the turns under a microscope the count was about 150, at 34 ohms. I installed it thinking I can always remove the turns if I cant align it. To my surprise the radio played. Not only did it play, it picked up stations clearly from 560 kz to 1400. The stations were exactly where they were supposed to be on the dial. I don't think an alignment necessary. Thanks again
