Starting 37-116 Deluxe Restoration
#50

Hi Nick, your band #2 problem most likely is a bad oscillator coil #38 on the Philco schematic. There should be continuity between any and all 5 terminals on this beast. Mine is open and I did a rewind on it but I am soooo far from completing the restore on this chassis before I can fire it up and see if it works. I bought another complete RF deck for this radio but you guessed it, the same coil is bad on it too. I couldn't find anything on rewinding this so I tried meticulously disassembling it to count the turns and direction they turn but it disintegrated as I was going so not sure if I got a correct turns count or not. Like I said, I won't know if I did good for awhile. Good luck on yours.

Ron
