Another project - Philco Tropic 42-788
#44

Thanks, Sam Icon_biggrin

Here is the repaired right side dial pointer:

The pointer broke at the point where the pointer wire is clamped to the aluminum frame. The wire bends over the top of the frame, and was unbroken. This helped make the repair possible.

So I installed the repaired pointer in the dial this morning.

After aligning the "spread-bands" on the right side of the radio, I listened to an African station in English in the 16m band for a little while before checking the other bands to confirm that all five are working (and they are). Icon_thumbup

That concludes the chassis work on this radio. Now the original speaker (which I have not yet shown in any pictures) needs to be reconed, and the cabinet is going to need a lot of help.
