Its difficult to anticipate all the issues you may come across but many are addressed already in the Library.  Here are some that might help you out:

https://philcoradio.com/library/index.ph...il-rewind/  (the photo links in this one are not currently active .... we are looking into it but there is also a nice set of info on shadow meters here: https://www.philcorepairbench.com/shadow...justments/  )


I moved this into the Electronic Restoration section.
Cheers,
