Philco tombstone with a twist

[Electronic M]

I gutted the mod, and got no change....Then after some searching found the osc coil was open in an easily repairable way, that fixed it.

It's AM only, I'd guess the mod was supposed to be a SW converter. It used a 4-pin plug-in coil.

I initially had trouble finding a schematic, but found a thread on ARF that stated the 37 model used the same chassis and was listed on line.

That Crosley next to it in the first pic had perhaps the most recent mouse nest of any radio I've bought, in it....With a minced newspaper dated March 22 2015. Whoever donated that Crosley to the club needs a cat or some pest control STAT.

I had no worries about you getting it going!
I want to see your progress on the Philco 38-116, that you got from the meet.
Now, that's a radio!

I variaced the 116, and to my surprise the darn thing still works some 78 years into it' existence.

I need to fix and sell some more mundane consoles before, table sets, and flips before I start to tackle the projects I'd rather be doing now...That 116 is probably 3rd in the want to do list (despite working original sets normally sitting lower).

Only took me two years to get to it, but I got to it.
