Philco Tropic 39-770EZ
#57

After the tedious work with coil (8), I proceeded to rewire the two IF transformers, polished their aluminum housings, and then reinstalled them in the radio.

I also installed a couple more paper caps. This set uses lots of 0.25 uF caps and I don't have any more paper shells of that value or size, so I am probably going to (horrors!) install the remaining 0.22 uF caps without paper shells.

Anyway, here's how it looks now.

Back of chassis, showing the rebuilt IF transformers in place once again.

After getting all of this done, I thought it would be a good time to take a break. So I came upstairs, looked at the clock...it was after 5 pm EST! Time flies when you're having fun. Icon_rolleyes So I may, or may not, do some more work to it this evening.

I still need to install a few more paper caps, restuff the electrolytics, and install them. That should be it.
