Hello to all,
Been hanging around here awhile, and am now in need of some of the resident expertise.
Rebuilding a 37-610T, my phirst Philco. Mainly Crosleys in the past. Recapped, replaced about 1/2 of the resistors, did not check/replace micas (although there are enough problems with this radio to warrant a closer look).
In attempting to align, I noticed that adjusting the primary on the 2nd IF transformer produced no effect. I gently tapped the side of the can, and produced a continuous buzz. So now I have to get in there and find the problem.
However, I cannot get the can cover to separate from the coil. I am afraid to go postal with this thing, so if someone has had experience with this, how do I get that can cover off?
Thanks, and I will likely have need of some more help as I work through this basket case. BTW, found out that I am a big fan of that floating RF section.
