  • Hey John,

    I don't worry about how long it takes to get something into my head, because once it is there, it's there. Thanks

    Regards,

    Rick

  • Rick,

    Another job very well done.

    I'm glad the owner elected to repair the original speaker as the Philco 90 isn't some run-of-the-mill radio.

    But this is getting scary, Rick. I'm understanding everything you say and do. And it only took two years. The teaching was great...the student was slow. :-)

    Thanks again.

    Regards,

    John

  • Yes he did! It is a beautiful radio. Thanks.

  • That guy did a helluva job on cabinet--the finish just glows!

  • I did replace the field coil with a two resistors, there on the workbench, and used a PM speaker for testing the radio. I gave the owner links to speaker repair, and he has decided to send it off for repair. When we first talked I told him that if he did not want to repair the speaker we could just keep the original, original and fix it later and use a modern PM until then. But he is going to send it out, which is great. Thanks.

  • Sounds very clear!

    When I saw the wirewound resistor, I thought you replaced original field coil speaker with a PM type. I read that a resistor can take the place of a field coil of a speaker if you replace with a PM type speaker, but I rather have the original field coil speaker in there and use the modern setup temperarily.
