I have a Philco 40-120 radio that is in need of an acceptable 1st IF Transformer Assembly, part 32-3237. The radio has one installed already, but it is a different part number, 39-5955.
One of the wires is broken and I was able to fix that, but the bolt that holds the IF Transformer to the top of the can will not tighten. it appears that the bolt and the nut are not the issue. The issue is the hollow tube is barely attached to the ceramic square plate that houses the tuning screws. This causes the transformer to rock back and forth in the can.
Does anyone now of an aftermarket replacement I could use or another acceptable replacement I could buy? There are no specifications written on is or in the schematic.
See attached photos.
Would I be able to use something like this eBay listing?
