Now let's compare that enormous inconvenience with the RF chassis, shall we...
I remember that cap, it connects to the output panel, right?
Wasn't difficult for that reason, but was buried under another cap and some wires so I had to dig through the cobweb....
I will be honest, yes compared to the Philco 20 chassis 9-S-262 might seem more complex, but on abolute scale of diffiulties it is one of the simplest ones I worked on. Despite it having motorised tuning and all. Even 66 gave me more grief due to that daughterboard assembly, and the 20 has the filter can to recon with, otherwise I'd rate it as the easiest one I had to restore.
And after completing an AK808 just recently I can honestly say all of them other sets are a walk in the park.
