restaurar radio philco modelo 20
#2

These old radios always need to have their electronics restored before they will work correctly.  If it has not been restored before, it will need all of the capacitors replaced and probably most of the resistors.  There may be other problems as well.  If you have never restored a radio like this you will need to do some reading to learn to read a schematic, learn to measure voltages and resistances and learn how to solder.  Depending on your radio's version it will have one of two schematics found on the following link:  https://philcoradio.com/library/index.ph...chematics/


Google translation to Spanish:

Si nunca ha restaurado una radio como esta, tendrá que leer un poco para aprender a leer un esquema, aprender a medir voltajes y resistencias y aprender a soldar. Dependiendo de la versión de su radio, tendrá uno de los dos esquemas que se encuentran en el siguiente enlace: https://philcoradio.com/library/index.ph...chematics/
