Philco 604C Electronic Restoration
#42

So today, I made good upon my threat to completely re-do this radio.

After a couple hours of work, I had an almost bare chassis.

I cleaned the chassis somewhat, and also removed the IF transformers. The 1st IF is suspicious - its secondary winding is reading near zero, and so that transformer will be replaced.

The next step is all new wiring under the chassis.

In case you were wondering (or care) about the antenna terminal strip, I managed to glue it back together and I think it will be OK.
