Good evening. I'm impressed with the efforts of the fellow forum folks.
I noticed several have restored a 39-30 Code 121 set.

I'm re-wiring mine, and have a question. Can I remove the nut at the top of the IF cans to remove -just- its shield so I can re-wire those IFs? I had a bad experience with a Crosley of a similar vintage that needed re-wiring. Despite trying to label the wires when I removed the whole can and making good notes of where they routed, the insulation with my marks on it fell off.

My second question: I got the set with no back/antenna. The service bulletin mentions a Philco antenna that is recommended. Were these sets sold without the typical antenna built into the back? Or what kind of antenna is recommended?

Regards,
Clarence in Virginia Beach
