Philco 40-180 Compensator Alignment
#12

>I will check but wouldn’t it be highly unusual to have the same issue in both of the two 40-180s I have?

Have troubleshot several sets w/that choke being open.

>On Op 2, Note D it references the “high frequency oscillator compensator” … is that 21A?

Yes it sets the high end of the top SW band.

>In the paragraph above the table under SIGNAL GENERATOR, last line, it states “It is necessary when adjusting the padders that the receiver be left in the cabinet”. Do you think that it should have read “that the receiver LOOP be left in the cabinet”? 

Not sure. May require short adjustment tools to make the adjustments while in the cabinet.

>Finally, I assume that both the SW receiver loop under the top of the cabinet and the statically shielded loop antenna (ie the brown paper cylinder in the lower portion of the cabinet; see example pic below) should both be connected when doing the alignment.

You assume correctly.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
