1st IF can cover removal Philco 118 Help
#1

Sometimes you run into a real skunk and this one is it.

How do I remove the 1st if can cover? I thought it would be straight forward but not so much. It's a round can with what appears to be two posts protruding thru the top and two 1/4 " hex nuts holding it in place with an adjusting screw in the middle. I removed the two nuts and expected the  can to be loose and easy to remove. It is not . It did not budge so before I break anything I thought I would ask.

This is the one that had the frozen band switch, and a host of problems . It seems I go from one to the next and as an aside the SW is dead. I would like to take it out side and shoot it !.
                                                      Thanks,
                                                         Henry

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