Model 76 --open field coil
#4

Hello-another day
I connected an old xformer in parallel with the open field coil connected the secondary of the original output xformer in parallel with the voice coil of a PM speaker. I connected antenna to the grid cap of the detector. Placed a 1 amp fuse in both legs of the AC and pluged it in. I received one strong local station. I had installed two 2 MF electrolitics. One on either side of the filter chock.
It looks as I am going to need several parts.The BC resister will need to be replaced-part# 3865 another resister part #3864 should be replaced. If I can find all the parts I will replace the speaker also.There is a condenser part #3584-B that is bad and I do not know what it is. It is not listed in Chucks book on capaciters and the value is not shown on the schematic.It is hooked to the 4th R> F> transformer.I had to disconnect it before I could receive anything. The 4th RF transformer may be bad Get into that tomorrow. I think I will place a wanted Phico 76 for parts.Thanks again
