Restoring Philco 96
#8

As usual, I went to the Riders books first, and here it is:
- the schematic is in Vol I
- The chassis bottom photograph is in Vol II
- And the alignment procedure is in Vol VIII

So, I went to Nostalgiaair and opend the scans, that are consolidated in one PDF file.
Also there is the issue of the speaker.
I have a spare 20 speaker, which is fairly close. The FC is 3.1K vs 3.4K, and the pin-out pf the plug is the same, so for the purpose of the alignment I might be using that one.

Also, someone who repaired (or attempted to, as I am not sure it would work after this repair) miswired at least one place.

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.
