Philco Model 87
#6

Thanks for the replys, I counted about 13 turns of wire which were very thin and brittle. I removed the old wire, wrapped a turn of masking tape and 14 turns of #41 magnet wire that I had on hand. Might be too thin, I could try #34 gauge wire. I did replace the
bypass caps and associated B+ resistors. I should take a closer look at the other 2 transformers even though I am passing B+ to the plates of their tubes. I'm not sure just what to expect out of this receiver as far as sensitivity. With the repair I just made, I can pull in
WLS in the Chicago area but that is all, not great volume.
