Silvertone 4587A
#5

Nice dog Kevin. I was thinking Sheltie but couldn't think of the name. If and when I get another dog, it will be a Sheltie. Friend had one and that was one smart dog.
As for flash tuning there were apparently different versions. Probably prior to the tuning eye and shadow graph. My Fada has the same thing. Only set up for NY stations as I guess that was where they were made. Dial above the tuning dial which had printed NY stations on it. The plastic dial showed tuned frequency (well 0-100 on the lower display) the upper dial showed the stations. Small cuts in the dial switched contacts to turn on the light at that station. Crude but interesting. You could apparently with the right tool also punch new indents into the dial for your favorite station although the flash dial would not indicate the station number.

If you have rust between the vanes, I wonder how you get the NJ in between, and how you then wipe it off.morzh — 12:02 PM

If the noise is still there, the OPT might just be OK. Or so we hope.morzh — 12:01 PM

You would probably be replacing the OPT.RodB — 10:54 AM

I have been playing the radio for a while now and doing well. Turned it on today and all I got was a whole lot of noise....dconant — 09:39 AM

Thanks guys. I think I'll give the Naval Jelly a try since I can better control where it goes.dconant — 09:23 AM

Just forget this number, it is useless anyway. Simply proceed with your project.morzh — 10:08 PM
Philco Model 80 Transformer resistance
My $0.02 is that it is a misprint. I tried to look up the value for the similar 84 and 37-84, and ther is no resistance...MrFixr55 — 09:51 PM
Philco Model 80 Transformer resistance
Thanks for the quick reply! Hmm...well that's good, so what am I seeing that's 1042 ohms on the schematic for the pow...Mike L — 08:46 PM
Philco Model 80 Transformer resistance
The DC resistance of the primary is 8 to 9 Ohm.morzh — 07:54 PM
Philco Model 80 Transformer resistance
I have a feeling the primary winding on the power transformer is bad. My resistance reading on the primary side is 9 ohm...Mike L — 07:48 PM
