Philco 40-180 Chassis Restore
#44

Well the weather here in Indiana is finally cooperating, and I finally managed to work in some time to get the cabinet work completed.  I finished that up yesterday allowing me to get the loop speaker and loop back in the cabinet so that I could do the alignment.  After fiddling with my VTVM and tube socket adapter, finally got it aligned per schematic and am pleased with the results.  Dial is pretty close to spot on and she sounds beautiful.  I fiddled around out in the garage late last night and was able to pick up quite a few stations including WWV at 15 MHz, 710 WOR in New York, 880 WCBS in New York, 650 WSM in Nashville, and of course 700 WLW in Cincinnati.  There were many others as well.  I'm very please with how it all turned out!
