SB #120-C
#1

My Philco 89B AND the 19LZ (same chassis) are both Philcos from H**l! I am trying my damnedest to TRY and align the 89B. It seems that I need Service Bulletin number 120-C Adjusting Philco Superheterodynes to even START this procedure! CRAP! MORE H**l! Anyone know where I could get this manual?? I don't even know where to clip my sig-gen's leads. Jeeze am I lost!
The 19LZ has an open RF coil, but plays (quietly!) okay, no problemo. I think I'll stick to AA5s! Icon_twisted Icon_twisted Icon_twisted Icon_twisted

So Steve, does the fact that you are trying to align the 89 mean you were able to get it working?

Service Bulletin 146 for Models 89 & 19 is available here: http://audiophool.com/Philco.html it does have some alignment info on it.

Here's a summary of alignment info from Riders 1937 Aligning Philco Receivers

Hope that helps...

That audiophool file is in DJVU format.  I try and find a free DJVU to PDF. Download starts....it's a friggin' REGISTRY program..delete delete MASTERDELETE. Try another link. try that one and BAM! Kaspersky says I just got INFECTED. spend 30 min. disinfecting. But I found one. I am SO far over my head I'm drowning. For me, this is a tall mountain to climb, but climb it, I WILL. Icon_crazy klondike98 that file should get me going, THANKS!!

Steve, I've attached the file in PDF format.  That should open easily with the Adobe Reader that is available at https://get.adobe.com/reader/ .
