Philco 118
#16

Almost done with recapping (two tubulars left) and all but two resistors have been replaced. The tone ctl has been rebuilt.
Now the volume pot is problematic. While end to end resistance is correct, there is a dead zone. I cleaned and lubed it but I will be looking for a new one.
The switch is also problematic though after some exercise it makes and with some current it will self clean but it is one of those covered with a riveted plate so no cleaning possible.

This Philco has the tuhular caps with the rolled up ends, so just pulling the guts out is not possible, so I cut tbe rolled edges off. Never saw those before.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
