Philco 37-116 Band #2 Oscillator coil repair
#4

I wish I took more pictures of me rewinding the secondary coil— I removed it without removing the oscillator section off the RF deck—too many connections to unsolder-I took pictures of where all 5 coil wires went and used small needle nose pliers to carefully remove the wires off the band switch/ trimmer terminal lugs as I unsoldered them—when I unwound the secondary there was some green corrosion on it but I cleaned any traces off the coil form and checked the primary and there was no sign of corrosion(yet). Rfeenstra’s close-up pictures of how he rewound the coil helped me successfully rewind the coil—so far band 2 is holding alignment and no frequency drift.  Ken

Absolutely no one is going to reverse engineer that circuit. Even the iron core is missing.RodB — 10:37 AM
