Philco Canada 51A
#14

Photos, as promised:

Here is the 51AT, with new pilot lamps and a newly strung dial cord, playing away at my workbench.

Restringing the dial cord was not difficult at all. I found a suitable spring, and it all went back together nicely.

Now, a look under the chassis once again, now that the recap and recarb is complete:

Originally, it used two paper .01 uF caps from each side of the line to ground. Now, it has two new X1/Y2 safety caps instead.

The alignment went OK save for one band: the 9.5 to 12 mc band. The tracking is off and while I can move the 12 mc signal lower on the scale, I cannot move it any higher than 11.6 on the scale - that is where the adjustment screw tightens up completely. The other bands all turned out fine.

I'll post a photo of the set all reassembled in a day or two. I need to glue some seams on the cabinet first, before I reinstall the chassis.
