Philco 40-201 Restoration Journal
#9

Oh my. I have to do that installed in the cabinet. Maybe its time to take it out and hook it up later tonightIcon_smile

Talk about other silly oversights, my fluorescent lights about 3' over my bench are large contributor to the distortion. It still sounds a little gritty but I'll see how it goes when I hook up the broadcast and SW loops.

I'm still curious how measuring the voltage at the junction of the IF assembly and the 1st audio tube eliminates some of the background noise and gives a slight boost in volume.

Ron, thanks so much for a knowing eye over my shoulder.
