Another project - Philco Tropic 42-788
#22

I've restuffed and reinstalled one electrolytic. I now need to restuff the other one.

But I decided to take some time to go ahead and start working on the wiring harnesses that run to the ten (!) pilot lamps in this radio.

For the pilot lamps on the left side of the radio, I used some new wires but had to resleeve two of the original wires since they connect to the band switch in an inaccessible area.

For the pilot lamps that will go to the right side of the radio, I resleeved all five of those wires.

All of these wires terminate at terminal strips on either side of the chassis.

Photos later.

My next job was to make two more wiring harnesses, one for each set of dial lamps (left and right).

I also had the chore of rebuilding every pilot lamp socket.

Here's the lamps on the right side:

The next post will illustrate the pilot lamps on the left side of the radio.
