Hi Glenn, I was wondering how your Philco 118H was coming along and looking for any help you can give me.
I just started with my 118H and just ordered a lot of parts. Like you I have a bad R60, open, and I was wondering how your replacement works. If it worked out for you I will also replace it with a 20 watt resistor.
I have to do a complete rewire of the chassis, as rodents lived there for many years. They ate through 70% of all the wire insulation and in some cases ate through the wires. I have one big problem, they even chewed through some of the windings on the wave trap. That will be hard to find or repair. The volume control is also bad, so I will be looking for a 350K pot with a tap. Any ideas where I could find any of these parts, or how I repair them. I am using a Philco service bulletin No. 194 and found a few problems with the schematic.
Any help from you or anyone else would be greatly appreciated.
