RE: [split] Philco Radio Model 40-120 bluetooth
#2

Welcome to the Phorum, coffeeboy! I am splitting your post off to its own thread. The one you posted to has been dormant awhile, and you should get better results with your own. You say the radio is working, but has it been restored? If not, all paper and electrolytic caps must be replaced, as well as any out of tolerance resistors. Failure to do so only invites problems. 40's era radios had inferior rubber insulation issues such as cracking, splitting, and breaking away from the wire itself. Inspect all wiring in the chassis for these signs. If present you can either reinsulate the wire by sleeving with shrink wrap, or replace it entirely. If you do the latter, reroute the new wire exactly as the original.
You sure did pick a jam-packed chassis for this venture. Take your time and have fun. Lots of help available here to guide you along the way.
Here's the service info for your set, found in the Philco Radio Library located at the bottom of the page. Take care and BE HEALTHY! Gary
