Philco 41-608 connector question.
#24

Hi Brian and WELCOME !

I haven't been a very faithful member for which I apologize. I finally got through my "rebuild" with lots of help from the fellows on this
forum and sorta dropped out after that.
Happy to help if I can... I took the BOL changer apart pretty completely except leaving some of the linkages still connected and then
thoroughly cleaned every inch of the base and the parts. It was pretty gunky to say the least. Sorta looked like a lost cause at first
glance. I didn't even try to operate it before starting in on cleaning it up cuz I figured if anything wasn't behaving correctly, it could
be likely due to it's bad condition.
I won't go into all the detail but once I got it all back together and tried it, the motor ran and the turntable turned and it sorta went
through a change cycle. It wasn't completing the cycle or "setting down" the way it should. After rechecking my work as well as I
could, I didn't really see any clear answer. So.... I bit the bullet and sent it off to the fellow (name escapes me now) that rebuilds
these. I needed the "tone arm" replaced cuz mine was cracked (metal near optic stuff was broken) and figured I'd have to get a
replacement for that anyway.
Well he got it working but apparently I had only one minor error on reassembly that caused my trouble and, of course, he supplied
a working "arm". Once it was all placed into the cabinet and connected up it worked well except for a couple minor tweaks.

The replacement transformer (different than the original) worked out just fine and wiring it was pretty much like the discussion
above relates.

Hopefully this is some help to you but if you need more clarification, feel free to ask and I will try to help.

Oh... the fellow that works on the BOL changers is "Gib" Epling and operates as West-Tech Services
