Another project - Philco Tropic 42-788
#24

Now let's look under the chassis again.

The wiring harness going towards the left is a combination of mostly new wires, with two of those wires having been resleeved with color-coded heat shrink tubing since I could not reach those two to replace them at the band switch.

The wiring harness going to the right over to a long terminal strip on the right end of the chassis consists of original wires that have each been resleeved with heat shrink tubing. I could have replaced a couple of them, but opted to just resleeve them all.

Now, a close-up of the right side:

It is easier to see here what was done. The resleeved wires connect to a long terminal strip, and another wiring harness starts here and runs up to the pilot lamp sockets on the right side of the radio.

Here is how it looks on the left side of the chassis:

The wiring harness from the pilot lamp sockets on the left side of the radio are attached (but not yet soldered) to terminal strips under the chassis. I cannot connect the left side under-chassis wiring harness until I have restuffed and reinstalled the three-section electrolytic and wire both electrolytics up. Why not? Because the wiring harness will interfere with other things yet to be wired back up underneath such as IF transformers, audio output transformer, and electrolytics. Once I have reconnected everything else mentioned, I can then connect the left side under-chassis wiring harness to the appropriate terminals.
