Ok, well IF aligned and a little better. Off to the rest of the trimmers per the Philco instructions. Seems their techs only carried signal generators for two different IF frequencies. They used harmonics to get to RF frequencies. Well, I'm not looking for the fourth harmonic to aligned to a given RF frequency. Just adjusted mine to the RF frequency they were looking for. Well, it came in well. Only one trimmer which I noticed was open so far, I could squeeze it closed with my fingers need a lot of turning. Over all, I'm happy with it. Well short of the grill cloth which isn't so bad to toss it (heaven forbid) but would like it to look a little less holy. Sorry Ron, not be confused with a religious discussion.
It is now pretty much ready to replace my 111 which the nice lady I bought it from wants back. You may have seen some previous posts on that situation. Not as nice as the 111 but fills the bill.
Have a nice Thanksgiving all of you out there in Philco land.
