Good examples of troubleshooting decisions. Enjoyed you taking the time to replace the old wiring in the IF.

Your right about Loctal tubes....I'm working on a Philco 48-482 and had to spray clean the tubes and sockets, then work those tubes in and out.... I didn't know that was a couple of filter caps in that black vessel where the power cord connects to.....I was told that it made use of the power cord for the FM reception... Thanks for the Video.....

Thanks for the video. Good work. Brian should be happy after he discombobulated the off on volume knob.

Philco and Zenith used that rubber wiring where the rubber would dry up and crack, sometimes falling off. It will drive you nuts! Nice radio!

I have a 40 145 that I got a year ago, still have yet to look into it.<br>Saw one in your Philco book.

Nice restoration and good troubleshooting on this Philco. One thing I would add is that I've unsoldered the wires on the bakelite block contacts and used a tiny drill bit/paper clip to push out the warmed up tar. That works pretty well.
