Philco 39-7 issues
#31

Just finished rewiring dial lamp, it now works. Replaced dial string. Works better. Replaced resistor 23 and 24 with correct ones with 2 watts. Taped and numbered all wires coming from power transformer and removed it from chassis. That was quite challenging, but kinda fun. Wires were totally crumbling even inside transformer. I put heat shrinking tubing on each wire and renumbered them. Tomorrow I plan on reinstalling the transformer and replacing the rest of crumbling wires. Then I’ll bring it up slowly and see if it plays and rewards me for all my time consuming work. Thanks again for all your help. Hope the blizzard moves out quickly.
