Philco 87 questions
#1

New guy.....although the names that I see here are familiar. So, after some voltage checks on the power transformer w/o the 80, I variaced this thing up and was happy to hear something! One odd thing, the wires to the volume control were unsoldered and it was loosely mounted, as if someone had an issue with it. I sprayed contact cleaner into it and my DVOM seemed to show 0 to 10K ohms, so I jumpered it in for the power up. The operation of it seemed backwards, but I'm not too concerned right now. The radio tuned normally, but the audio was weak and had a tinty ringing sounded to it. Since there was an oily residue around the base of the cap tar box, I guess that I'm doing a de-tar rebuild. That's OK. But my question is: where's a wiring diagram that identifies all of the numbered parts on the schematic? (I searched all of the Philco 87 threads and gleaned all that I could from them.) THANKS-DENNIS
