Philco 46-480 Electronic Restoration
#70

I've made a disappointing discovery this evening. That is, my 3rd IF can is a Meissner part #16-6660. This is not the original unit (I don't care about that part), but it is strictly an AM IF can (456 kHz intermediate frequency). That's not going to cut it for FM demodulation!

    I've already been down this road with my 49-906, but these Philco IF cans are impossible to find for the FM sets. Philco used 9.1 MHz as their FM intermediate frequency at the time, and that's a very unusual value. I'm going to have to build my own IF can, just as I did for the other set. But last time I built a 1st IF can, so this will be slightly different. This also appears to be quite the complex IF can to reproduce!

   

I suppose I'll search the internet to see if there happen to be any similar options available right now, but it may be time to put back on my PCB design hat!
