Looking good, and you are learning something new everyday! Envious...

We're talking mid 50's here.

IIRC I have a 40's Philco speaker mount plug and socket among my parts...It would be an item that someone making that kit back in the day would have in their junk box or get from a parts store...If I can find it then it will be available.

Yeah, I am.

Already I have a better understanding and appreciation for the factory worker who assembled TV's in the 50's!

Thanks Tom. I'll keep you in mind. Much appreciated.

Is this mis-labeled? Two controls marked R55A?

They typically did the same 1, 2 or 3 functions - you're mimicking the whole dang factory!

Nice job so far. Fun to follow along while I'm stuck at work

Wow, you're right. I must have been asleep at the wheel. The far left R55A should be R35A. The "A" or "F" is for fore or aft to help ID which section of the dual section pot. I'll correct that next time in the shop.

7 Grand kids over here for the day!

His attention to detail still impresses me! I used to be almost that good.

I think, he's teaching some of us old dogs, new tricks.
RE: the speaker connector, many sets of the day, just used RCA phono jacks and plugs.

Thank you Bob.

Yeah, I think what it takes to get one of these into production. Every single step has to be built in, workers trained, QC, and testing, parts suppliers...Whew!

Though I do think I'm having more fun though!

Thanks for the kind words.

Great idea on using a RCA phono jack and plug!

I'm working on setting up a file sharing system so you guys can down load the full set of documents including the 6 step-by-step instruction sheets, the step-by-step instruction sheet for the IF Strip, the Instruction Booklet, a large copy of the schematic, Supplementary sheet, and any other document that came with the kit. Eventually, I'd like to get the docs to the ETF.

Crist Rigott · #**119** 12-16-2016, 03:31 PM

OK. I uploaded all the docs that came with the kit. They are:

Instruction Sheets 1 thru 6. Full size 17x12
IF Strip Instruction Sheet. Full size 17x22
Schematic 11x17
Instruction Booklet
Parts List
Supplementary Sheet

You should be able to DL all the files I put there. CAUTION! Some of the files are about 7MB each. They are high def files.

Let me know how this is working for you.

https://www.dropbox.com/sh/v5ow2i7x8...rbUlywh3a?dl=0

Once at the file list, click on the file, then when it opens, click on "open" in the upper R/H corner of the screen. It should open as a pdf. Then click save as and save the file.

I finished step 3 (Sync Section) this evening. I'm still waiting on some .0047uf film caps so I couldn't install C27 yet. I think the caps will be here on Saturday. Things went pretty well. It got pretty tight on V10 with 3 resistors and 2 caps on 3 terminals. Anyway here is an overall view so far and then a close up of the area worked.
