Philco 38-116 Question More Questions
#8

Thanks for that link to the changes. The Philco Phorum has a lot I have not discovered yet. But let's continue to a couple more questions. Still on the 38-116. First is a picture of a small rectangular can. I believe it holds some caps but can't really find it on any of the documentation we have as to what it is. This could be to a number of things, I'm brain dead, I can't see that well or both of the above. What is it and where is it noted on the schematic?
Second picture shows what looks like a reed switch behind the dial. What the heck is that doing and where in the schematic.
Could this be related to the two lights that should light up the two sides of the dial that don't work? They go to a switch on the front but nothing seems to turn them on.
The radio is working well now, about 15 resistors to check but all caps perhaps what is in that can have been changed.
As usual, thanks for your help

Jerry


Picture of that little can I can't identify.

A picture of the small reed switch with two wired going to it and seems to be related to the radio dial.
