Philco Shadowgraph meter, the old style, coil removal
#2

Oh! C'mon! Once in a blue moon I am having a problem and everyone is as silent as fish!Icon_lol

Now, I've extracted the dang bobbin. Just needed to think a bit.

Now there is a simpler but insurmountable for me problem: winding few thousand turns of #40 wire (and taking the old one off first). And I need to buy it first.

Q: Does anyone know anyone(s) who rewinds bobbins? Small bobbins with thin wire with huge number of turns. I dread this. That is since I was 8 years old and started tinkering with electronics, the coil winding business was the sole part of it that made me shudder. In a nutshell, I hate it. I probably hate it as much as writing documents. Actually I hate it more. I write docs habitually.

I could use some help in that department. For a fee, of course.

Is there a reference somewhere where you can punch in Philco part numbers and see what models those parts were used in?Jim Dutridge — 10:17 AM

Hi OSanders, Look carefully at the band switch. Turn it slowly and "wiggle" it around the desired band. ...MrFixr55 — 12:33 AM

A pre war Hallicrafters, and an early one too, very nice! 1936 is pretty early for metal tubes too, which would explain ...Arran — 05:58 PM

Thanks Rod, "When you hear the background hiss and no station it usually indicates that the oscillator quit" ...osanders0311 — 05:52 PM
