Philco 16B restoration
#7

Many things in the radio are not exactly according to the schematics, and, considering the volume/tone ctl mod, it is none of the existing versions.

I convert it to more or less the latest code 121. I am done with tone ctl/volume.
I also am weeding out non-original standalone tubulars. One last I have, a black beauty, is supposed to be a part of a dual backelite block, which in my case is single cap one.
I simply find an old cap of a proper value, of which I have a fair amount, especially the popular value of 0.047uF, and stuff it with a new cap.

Then I have the tin can block to re-do.

Many resistors are in very good shap and are within 10%, some even better, but large value (1.5M, 2M) are far gone and will have to be replaced.

As I said before, the backelite blocks have bee taken care of by the previous owner and are restuffed. I checked 2 or 3, they are correct.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
