The newer vehicles with their "info-trainment" systems are very good choices for DXing on the road. (Cars really don't have radios anymore...) I do find the challenge is finding "quiet" areas to enjoy listening. Open highways seem the best, while urban areas pose quite another issue - that of power/data line interference. An example: when I drive to the club meeting in Princeton I pass through Doylestown and New Hope areas. AM reception through these areas is almost non-existent! - just pure noise! As I continue the drive through Lambertville toward Hopewell reception becomes almost crystal clear. I've noticed the number of power/data lines on the poles along the road between New Hope and Doylestown and can firmly place the blame for poor reception on them. (Actually, I don't know how the poles can support that many cables.) The same holds true on my drive to InfoAge. Once outside the urban environment, reception improves greatly. Oh, one other area I found to be an annoyance - railroad crossings. As many data lines are run along the railroad "right of way," the rails themselves act as antennae for radiating the interference. All railroads seem to be subject to this. Whether it be data lines or railroad signal lines, there's a lot of interference. I guess this is the price we have to pay for our dependence on the Internet?

I had gone back to work in the Washington, DC area in 2001/02 and had my car radio set to the local stations, including WTOP at 1500 AM. I was in southern Virginia on I-81 near the Tennessee border and happened to hit that push button and WTOP came in loud and clear. Listened to it for maybe 10 minutes and it was gone. When I was a kid in central Florida in the mid-1950s we didn't have too many TV stations and you could buy a Yagi antenna cut for a specific channel. The best TV near us was channel 4 in Jacksonville and one night we watched it until it went off the air and another signal came in, a little snowy, but good enough to see and it was a channel 4 in Green Bay, WI! I later found this phenomena was called ducting on the low vhf channels, which channel 4 was. Later I put up a channel 11 antenna on my roof for Ft. Myers, FL and tried to get channel 38 in St. Petersburg with a big UHF antenna on top, but neither were very successful We have come a long way from the days of snowy black and white television with boosters on top of the sets!

Message-ID: <15accc48d09-6296-2db5e@webprd-m55.mail.aol.com> I'm currently working on a Philco Model 60 of the September 1934 production run. Thanks to Ron Ramirez's site, I was able to determine that. There's wealth of information out there on the early Philco's and, in particular, the Model 60. My dilemma is that at some time in the past, someone had the bright idea to replace some of the capacitors and do some rewiring. They thought they were being slick using Orange Dips and bridging the modules. All that effort and it still didn't work. No wonder, they didn't take all of the modules out of the circuit that were bridged you can guess the rest. I'm getting an idea of what was done, but I'd like to have a better idea of where things are supposed to go. I am rebuilding the capacitor modules and the metal box with the 4 capacitor package inside. The 4 cap metal box module had it's wires chopped off. Also, rather than unsolder what was connected to the tabs of the bakelite cap modules, they were cut off. There was enough left so that I can make a clean contact when I reinstall them. It helps to have things where they're supposed to be under the chassis so it operates better. Wiring in the right place, etc... I have the tube pins identified, but where I'm stuck, is how to identify the connections for the IF coils. The coils have not been removed and it doesn't look like they ever were. I'm just not sure they weren't tampered with. I took pictures of the underchassis before I started to work on it. Does anyone have any pictures showing an original and restored underchassis of a Philco Model 60? What they buggerd up were the connections to the 6A7. If I could get some detail for that, I can figure out the rest. Pin 3 seems to be the bigger issue. Where do the 2 resistors coming off of Pin 3 go? Thank you for any help you can give.

I had a flaky IF coil on the Philco 38-4 I was working on with RadioWild. We were able to get it to work by reflowing the connections to the coil because they were small wires that had corroded away. Might not be the same situation but thought I'd mention it.

If it is this outer winding, carefully lift it up out of the wax until you get to the bend. It's part of the coil winding process that puts strain on the bend. Removing that one turn won't hurt anything. A stereo microscope really helps along with some dental tools. If you are really desperate, you can send the coil to me and I'll check it out under the microscope. No guarantees though.

How about another Philco of similar vintage? I have one that has an open winding between terminals 2 and 3. If not, have you ever rewound a coil and could give some advise? I'm pretty sure I have the problem narrowed down. There is no signal generated by the LO and no voltage readings from either terminal 2 or 3. The ohms readings between the top lug and # 4 isn't close, but at least there is something. I'm also getting a reading between terminals 1 and 6. Once again, it's not close to the schematic. I'd prefer to not rewind the entire coil. But, if in your experience, this is what's needed, then I'll give it a try.

This version of the Philco 60 antenna coil has 5 lugs along with a grounding lug that mounts to the chassis. It took several hours of looking through magnifiers and carefully peeling away crud, wax, etc... from the lower end of the coil. I did determine that the problem was with lugs 2 and 3. To get started, I removed some of the wax with a finger nail so as not to remove any of the coating from the wire. I found a part of the winding that was missing some coating and at that point, I did an ohms test from lug 2 to the bare wire. Bingo, I found the wire, but not the section not connected to lug 3. I continued along the same line as the wire I found and just a few millimeters over toward lug 3, there it was. An extremely thin piece of wire in a spec of the wax that came off. At this time, a part of the loop was loose, but not unwinding. Good! Just a little more toward lug 3, there was something I didn't expect to see, a solder joint with a short tail. At this point, I traced the wire coming from lug 3 into the coil. Carefully removing the wax, I was able to trace it to a break point close to the solder joint I just found. When I matched that short piece of wire I previously found, it matched exactly the gap that was missing. The next task was the most delicate part of this entire repair. How to reattach it all? Since there was a good amount of the lead wrapped around the lug on the coil form, I carefully unsoldered the lead from the lug and there was enough to match it up with the tail from the coil. In the attached photos, you will be able to see the repair I made. Many of the responses I received from you expressed that it was likely a break at a turn to the lug. You were all right on Point! This repair from removal to reinstall test took about 4 hours. I have no way of knowing how long it would have taken had I had to rewind this part of the coil. I took the most conservative approach I could to avoid doing more damage. Fingernails and toothpicks make great tools to get the wax off. As I was working on this radio, doing research and employing what I had learned, what I've discovered, is that this radio has an enormous amount of information out there. From the information from Ron Ramirez and the PhilcoPhorum, along with many others, you can confidently make effective repairs to this radio. When this radio was presented to me, someone had done some work on it, but it was butchered with orange dips, clipped terminals on the capacitor blocks and incorrect electrolytics. The owner told me it briefly worked when they bought it. No wonder. Last night, as I gave it its initial test, it came to life with a great sound. In my basement here in rural Maine, with about 3ft of wire as an antenna, I was able to clearly hear WCBS 880 from NY just as if I was in NYC. CFZM 740 from Toronto was weak, but perfectly readable. I barely had to do any alignment. Now, I'm going to put some sealer wax over what was repaired, reinstall the coil and let it do what it was designed for, play. Attached are some photos of the coil. Thanks again for your help. Joe Devonshire -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This is a timely event as we're getting ready to rearrange the displays to highlight recorded music. The 10B cost $650 in 1965 which is about 5 Grand in today's cash. It's a thing of beauty.

See: http://www.ar88.net/audio/10B%20Scope.m4v Of course the built-in oscilloscope is the best part, but I had to shoot that video in a darkened room. We need a new CRT. It's a 3" CRT known variously as DG-32, 3RP1, or CV2431. It's shorter than the common 3BP1, and operates at lower voltage. I can buy one for about $65, but thought I'd ask the group first. The donation also included a Model 7 preamp, an 8B power amp, two large speakers, and an Ampex home-sized tape deck. Cool stuff! Check your junk boxes, Al -- Al Klase ?
