Starting another Philco
#1

I should have learned but like these radios, you might have seen the lovely 111 I had finished and the nice lady wanted back. Well had a space and this is what I'm starting on now. A Philco 90 single ended 47. It should take the place when the nice lady comes back to pick up the 111. I will be asking for some help, already ordered from Chuck the proper schematics and sent the 1st detector coil off to Ron. This one at least I could see some green on.
Hope you will help me on the restoration. Probably some questions on the cabinet forum and certainly a few on this. So far as I can see, both electrolytic caps have been replaced with well, things not right. I might have a donor chassis located with the right ones. Underneath, several parts hanging in the air. Appears a couple of block caps went South and were bypassed. More details to sort.
Well let's enjoy the journey.
Jerry

Hi OSanders, Look carefully at the band switch. Turn it slowly and "wiggle" it around the desired band. ...MrFixr55 — 12:33 AM
