Philco Model 89 - 123
#7

Well, this is going to be interesting, and less straight forward than most of my restorations. I began by trying to figure out the bakelite block condensers. I looked in the library, and found a little help. It would be nice if it had diagrams for each block listing what was connected to what exactly, but, I guess I will have to figure that out by tracing the schematic. Then there is the schematic. My chassis has a bakelite block up at the top right of the picture below that is NOT inn the parts diagram.

Tonight I printed out the changes for the model from the Library, and printed an enlarged schematic, and will begin showing the various changes on that schematic, then try to make sense of the bakelite blocks and what, exactly, goes to what. On top of all that, the underside of the chassis is a blivit, you know, a blivit, 10 pounds of,,, er... stuffed into a 5 pound sack. Philco seems to have had a habit of doing this, where RCA usually kept more space to work under there. Even Crosley was not as bad.
