[Philco281989]

Also I looked in some of my antique reference books, and one of the books, which is a great reference is "Case histories" of Receiver Troubles and their Remedies, copyright 1939.

Under Philco 71B the book mentions a common "Case history" with this model, it reads: "Intermittent Reception" Intermittently defective condenser No. 3. I also found the same thing on "Philco Repair Bench"

What does this mean exactly?

I also did check the two terminals coming off the Detector transformer (coil) and I got a continuity reading of 2.37 and a Ohm reading of 24.3 k Ohms. Let me know if any of you have any data to check these coil values to those of a schematic or other published data.

Thanks
