G'day Terry, thanks for the info.
The radio is certainly busy underneath, although there was some room freed up during the recapping process. The block components were a novel idea, no real issue once you have the data sheet downloaded from the Philco site. I would hate to think about repairing this radio without the cross reference / component value lists.
I checked the Osc windings and they appear to be continuos, although this oftens changes once power is applied. It appears as though there were a few factory revisions along the way but these should be easy to spot as I work my way through the innards.
I have selected a suitable power tranny, four bolts and a bit of wiring and I hope the old girl will sing again.
I'll keep you updated on progress.
Cheers
Kev.
