Philco 48-2500 Restoration Blog

I've been working on it for a few hours this evening, checking resistors and trying to get the Horiz to lock in without any help.

I must have replaced a dozen resistors, nothing really far out but it seems like every resistor in the set is on the borderline of 20-25% high%.

I replaced a few in the Horiz Osc circuit and now it'll fall into range with the control, though it'll only flop one direction, I wish it had a fine Horiz adjustment.

I finally hooked up a speaker and found out I had no sound at all, a little poking around turned up a resistor I had broken while recapping, replacing that got me some static, tweaking the fine tuning and the coils in the sound circuit got it working well but only with the picture tuned off peak a little bit so it needs more work there.
