Philco 513 chassis pics
#1

Hey everyone,
Just a few pictures of my 513 chassis I took tonight. I am getting ready to put it back in the cabinet. I aligned it and neutralized it and it sounds pretty good. It's pretty sensitive too, I was getting my Sstran 3000 and some local stations without even using an antenna. The funny thing is that the volume control doesn't seem to do much. It is working as I noticed a volume change when setting up my signal generator, but when pulling in stations there isn't much difference between low and high. There is a quite a change when using the range selector control though. This design does have a funny way of controlling the volume, it's right off the antenna, something I've never seen before. Also the construction of the volume control is new to me as well.
So, right now I'm waiting for a new speaker and matching transformer so I can replace the non working guts of my matching speaker. I'm going to keep the old unit and install it into an empty 211 speaker shell I have just to keep it safe.
