Philco 604C Electronic Restoration
#41

Good afternoon, anybody, and Happy 4th...

I worked on the 604 some more today.

But first...Let me show you how I made a 602/37-602 audio output transformer fit underneath a 604 chassis.

You take the 37-602 audio output transformer...

shine it up real nice... no, no, wait, getting carried away with a former wrestler and now action-adventure movie star's catch phrases. Anyway...

You have to remove the core from the shell. It's not too hard, really.

Keep pulling the steel frame from the core until you are left with only the bare core:

Now you will need to install the core into the frame of the original transformer. Notice how both are nearly identical in appearance? They also have identical electrical characteristics.

Remove the core from the frame of the original 604 transformer...and install the core of the 37-602 transformer into the 604 transformer's frame.

Lengthen the leads as needed, and install in the 604.
