Hello, I am in the middle of restoring a Philco 42-340. I am starting out by replacing all the rubber wiring, which is crumbling pretty bad. One of the wires I am replacing goes into one of the RF Cans. I saw two nuts to remove, removed them, and now the can is loose, but will not lift off the chassis. It seems the choke inside is hung up somehow. I amn a Newbie, and this is my first restoration of a unit this big, and I do not want to mess anything up by removing it, but I have to get the can off so I can get to the wire. Is there some kinds trick to this?
