Model 39-40
#6

I do plan to re-cap it before I try any alignments. Also I do not currently own a signal generator. I have been getting grill cloth at the local fabric shop. Yes I know it's not original, but I have been able to find a couple of fabrics on sale that have the "look". The lady working there saw me wandering around lost and asked me what I needed. I told her I needed some hideous 1930's looking cloth to replace speaker covers with on antique radios. She laughed, was suprised and also enthusiastic in helping me find stuff. She also seemed to know a little about old tube radios. I have re-covered two Philcos and another set for a friend with what I have found at a total cost of around $10.00. I'm not re-selling the sets...not yet anyway.

Dan Double conversion is using two IF converters instead of one. This improves the image response. morzh — 07:15 PM
