First attempt at rewinding an oscillator coil (Phil 38-12)
#1

My Philco 38-12 had an open oscillator coil from pin 1 to 2. From 3 to 4 it read 2.4 ohms on my multimeter.

I decided to try re-winding the 1-2 section. After doing so I have a reading of 3.0 ohms between pins 1-2. 3-4 is essentially unchanged.

I do not know what the ohmage is supposed to be exactly for either section. I can't tell from my schematic or else don't know how to read that. My question is----are these readings close enough??? I understand one section is to make oscillation and one section is for frequency. I don't know which is which.

Anybody help me through this?

I am ready to use jump wires and power it up before re-soldering all the connections (total of 5 wires go to the osc.) in the chassis. Will it work? I am assuming I'll have to adjust the transformers and the padder.

Thanks,
Art

Thanks Morzh. So it appears I did wire it incorrectly and I have to switch the wires between pins 2 and 4.bobclausen — 09:24 AM

No, it's not a problem, just during certain condition it could show up. Yes, an internal tube short could do that too. ...morzh — 09:13 AM
