Curious how the remote motor drive engages tuning condenser and how it couples with dial Knob ? In the event the remote fails or missing, is manual tuning seemless ? I know this is either/or tuning…Continue

Dave replied to mike hadley's discussion wooden knobs"Nice Michael. Curious what lathe you have there ? I use my grandfathers trusty old 1936 Oliver pattern lathe for such projects. I enjoy bowl turning large burls and the sliding bed allows 4’ ! BC !! "
Dave replied to Day Radebaugh's discussion Newbie with an 800B"Excellent cabinet execution Day !
Be nice and pull access door for photo of those big beautiful 6L6s.
Hope all’s well down on the ranch. Our lakes remain ice covered for a little longer, a Winter to forget !"
Dave replied to Dave's discussion Remote Drive Philharmonics"Thanks fellas, appreciate the comments."
David C. Poland replied to Dave's discussion Remote Drive Philharmonics"However, the 800B also has front panel station preset buttons that also operate the tuning motors and the AM/FM relay switch regardless of whether a remote keyboard is connected.
The prewar Philharmonic has no station preset buttons.…"
Norman S Braithwaite replied to Dave's discussion Remote Drive Philharmonics"Remote operation of the Philharmonic tuner is the same as that for the Model 800B except for a change in remote keyboard wiring to accommodate FM stations on the 800B.

Pointer dial Philharmonic
"Hey Brad
where did you find time to retrieve these between playoff games ? Good looking sets !"
Scott Seickel replied to Dave's discussion High Fidelity System"Dave, best to wait for a complete set to come up, or at minimum, a complete chassis set including the tuner, correct speaker and a power supply/amp. If you are very patient, you can collect the parts, but you may be measuring the time required…"
Dave replied to Dave's discussion High Fidelity System"Thanks David and Scott. Pictures do wonders for us “visual learners”. I’ve come across a mish mash of parts and PS. What I would like now is a restorable Philly as complete as possible. Need not be pretty. For now a dial glass and…"
Scott Seickel replied to Dave's discussion High Fidelity System"Just to help you out here, as a picture is worth a thousand works, this is a Philharmonic tuner chassis rear. The 4 pin male plug goes into the power supply, the very small 4 pin female receives a cable from the crossover, and the large 7 pin…"
Scott Seickel replied to Dave's discussion High Fidelity System"You are asking about the smaller 4 pin socket on the amp/power supply which connects to the tuner chassis. It serves to turn the set on and off where the tuner has the power switch built into it. It also supplies 24v to the tuner…"
Dave replied to Dave's discussion High Fidelity System"“There are 3 versions of the crossover all of which have a single cable and plug for the amp speaker socket. A secondary smaller cable from the crossover connects to the receiver to turn off the tweeters on AM bands. ”
So the smaller…"
David C. Poland replied to Dave's discussion High Fidelity System"To elaborate - I have several examples of the optional high fidelity speaker system in my collection. Apparently, this speaker system was developed for 1940 for the advent of FM reception models. Scott offered the an FM Phantom early 1940 several…"
Dave replied to Dave's discussion High Fidelity System"Thanks Kent. To clarify, the HFS (hi fidelity system), was always an option for the Philly and Phantom, ie in lieu of the standard 15” pedestal or phalange mounts ? The HFS itself had a specific woofer and tweeter with purpose built…"
