Philco 47-1230 Resto Advice Needed
#7

Thanks to all for the advice.
I got the schematics and service manual. I reformatted the DjVu
document into a pdf file to keep in my Nook.
I also have two family and friends who are EE's so I'll press them
into service if I get stuck.
Right now I'm in the "gathering of info" phase.
How to remove chassis, how to clean, learning about cadmium, etc.
The goal is to get it ready for Christmas.
Yeah, the project will be difficult, but if it's easy what fun is that?
If I can build a gameroom, stone patio, rebuild a jeep CJ, PC, etc, the resto should be do-able. Then again, the radio may think otherwise.
We'll see.
Stay tuned. (er, sorry for the pun)
