Philco 89 Lower Frequencies
#14

Terry I say the smaller the wire the more resistance.

Rob the Philco 89 does not have any braid connected to it. The stator has the connection to the coils and the rotor has the connection to ground. Maybe I have stator and rotor confused. How I remember which is which is stator is stationary and rotor rotates like in a motor. I think I will run wires from front to back of the stator connections.

I appreciate people following this thread. I will be investigating that coil for breaks at the connection points and checking stuff mentioned in the NA page. I think I have done a good job making sure the plates are not touching and have cleaned between the plates with pipe cleaners. There is no scratching when I turn the dial.
