Philco 46-480 Electronic Restoration
#98

Amen to that! Every time I think I’ve captured them all, I realize that there’s another error. My goal is to finish with an accurate schematic. We’ll see if I catch them all!

Still searching the depths of the universe for that missing IF transformer. I found some links in the Philco Library’s resources page. Today I emailed Wilbur Gilroy and John Kendall to see if they’d happen to have one of these. I also asked if they could recommend any potential leads. I know there’s got to be at least one of these floating around!

In the meantime, I’ll keep soldering the rest of the radio back together. Last night I replaced a couple of capacitors in the first and second IF cans and replaced the brittle wires. Stuffed it all back together with some new fish paper lining the cans!
