I am having a guy repair a Mahogany Philco Predicta Tandem for me, and the TV has a switch override that he is taking off and making safer by adding a cord with a thumbwheel to turn the TV on and off. However, it would be nice to have it turn on from the front dial as it’s supposed to.
In order to do this, he says he needs the following parts, which I would need. Actually, he says these two parts need to be together: the rear being a 2.5 megaohm variable resistor with a power switch and a small size split shaft (he says there’s two sizes of shafts,) and the front being a contrast control with a 2 mega ohm variable resistor. Anyone have any experience with this?
Thanks!
