Hi All;
I think I have a Bad Primary in my 1st IF coil.. I figure I have about three choices.. In no particular order..
1. Try my luck at unwinding it and hope it has a break near the end I am unwinding, and not at the other end.. I don't have a winding jig for these type of coils..
2. Put a cap of (to me) unknown value between the Primary and Secondary, Plate Primary to Grid secondary.. Like the Audio by-pass..
3. take out that If Transformer and associated tube, so that my Radio has a two Stage If Section, instead of a three stage If Section.. Untill I can find another IF can..
Can Anyone suggest the best way for me to proceed ??
THANK YOU Marty
