Well, as I'm sure you know, Philco didn't always print their production changes. That's what makes restoring these things such a challenge sometimes.

Yes indeed. I can't wait to dig into my much more complex 15DX and 37-10 consoles ;)

Bob,

Is it typically necessary to reseal the transformers with wax, and if so, what wax did you use?

I ask because I will probably be doing some similar work in the future.

Thanks,
Richard

I'm no expert, but it seems like a good idea as it holds the wires in places and keeps moisture out. It's also easy to melt out if another repair is necessary unlike glue.

I used micro-crystaline wax. Here's the thread where the topic was discussed.

I imagine beeswax or sculpture wax would work OK too. Just don't use use fragrant beeswax from a honey supplier like I did once. That radio still smells like honey
