(finally) continuing my 47-1230 restauration
#1

Greetings Philco gents and ladies. 

Years ago I began work on my very own 47-1230 and got it to a point where most of stages 1 and 2 of the schematics are essentially recapped, fuses and ground has been installed, essentials changed to get the radio safer, and cabinet refinished, as the finish was Sun damaged and veneer was missing.

Here's an old thread about it.

At that time I also shipped (gifted) the D-10A changer to another 1230 owner.

Sadly life happened and the radio remained untouched and un powered for years as my life changed. 


Last year I got a likely "aftermarket update" in the form of a Voice of Music changer from 53, that has 45s & 33s (and 16s but who cares?)

Soooo, 1230 now sees lot more air time, and I realize I never finished with its restauration... While AM is good, nothing plays on AM here. 
FM and Phono are low. And a bit gritty. 

They share the same tubes. In stage 3.

I think it's time I attack this part of restauration, at last. 

Soooo.... Here's what the guts currently looks like. 

I have a resistor I want to change, some safety caps that are waiting to be installed, and several caps to continue my quest.
