Philco 15DX restoration project

[bandersen]

I took a little time off from TVs to finish off this radio. Since the last installment I managed to scored a very nice set of original Philco 15 speakers off ebay. Unfortunately, one side of the primary is open



I decided to pursue two possibly replacements. One - a modern universal Hammond transformer. Two - transfer the good windings from the original output transformer that was so rusty it fell apart onto a good core salvaged from the new speakers.

First up the 125d Hammond which sounds just great Only downside is that it doesn't have spare lugs for the field coil connections.
