Philco 84B Power Transformer
#57

You guys are awesome! - After the IF repair, which helped the most, the reception was further boosted by a replacement 77 (thanks Terry) and I'm getting clear stations across the dial, after I realigned again today. The IF aligned well, but the final regeneration adjustment was a bit confusing. I could barely hear a squeal and it was across all settings, so I never really knew when to back off. I'm not sure if at this point it really matters since I'm getting about 12 clear channels. I also added a 40 ft antenna which helped further boost the signal. The only thing that suks is the one channel my daughter listens to is completely mixed with another channel and starts to squeal when I put it on...of course the only channel with music. Luckily, we can hear the gospel on 2 or 3 channels...LOL. Thanks again guys for all of your support. I will now set off on my next adventure which is restoring a gorgeous 90 I found. I'm sure you'll be hearing from me again soon-
