Philco 40-140 Field Coil Replacement
#15

Hey, I'm not smart. Most of what I know I learned from grouchy old farts decades ago, an now that I am a grouchy old fart it's coming back to me. Can't remember what I had for lunch today, or whether or not I had lunch. Old time radio is kind of like Latin, not widely spoken as I know but widely used just because it has not been updated in centuries.

"Get a 5K sandy, neat it up in corner and tack on an extra 10 on each side right side up. and glue in this here 4 inch, and make it snappy!" C'mon I was like 15, and he was Radio God in the little shop where I went for a couple hours after school a couple of days a week for a year or two. Always got slipped a $10 with warning not to tell the boss. Well turns out he was the boss, and the other old fart was the employee. Lights out at just about all the little shops by the early to mid 60's, distributors a couple of years later, surplus stores a few years from then, and just about all gone. Just like old time cowboys.
