Order a schematic from Chuck!

In the past, I had always just grabbed a free schematic from Nostalgia Air. Then I would spend time squinting and running to the computer to zoom in. Half the time, the parts list is incomplete. Sometimes I would have to download other schematics hoping to match up a part number to find out a value...

I recently ordered a schematic from Chuck, and the Philco Repair Bench website. All I can say is, I am impressed! I had no idea what I was missing. Chuck sent me a ton of great information.

You get all the of the service data, plus a complete parts list and Philco Service Hints and Tips, alignment info, shadowmeter info... plus a large, expanded, easy to read, clear schematic.

It is well worth the money.. I don't know Chuck, nor am I affiliated with him, but I know a good deal when I see one and I'll be a regular customer now. If you can't fix your Philco with this data, then you have serious problems...
