alignment procedure
#2

Hi

You have a few choices when it comes to alignment info.

1. "Complete Instructions for Adjusting All Philco Radio Receivers," Philco, 1935. Covers 1928 through 1935 models. Has been reprinted in the past, but a quick look at the Radio Daze and AES sites indicated neither carries it.

2. "Aligning Philco Receivers," John F. Rider, 1937. There are two versions of this book - one carries the above title alone, the other adds "Volume 1" to the title. Covers 1928 through 1937 models, with basic instructions at the beginning of the book. OOP (out of print) - look for this one at used booksellers, swap meets, eBay, etc.

3. "Aligning Philco Receivers - Volume 2," John F. Rider, 1942. Covers 1938 through 1942 models. Also OOP - find from used booksellers, eBay, swap meets, etc.

4. Order the schematic for your Philco from Chuck and get the alignment info as part of the package. (shameless plug) Icon_smile
