The Fine Things are Always Hand Made

Scott:
When you are ready, put together a checklist requesting serial number, inspection date, and yes or no responses to identified production changes. I have six Philharmonic chassis in the parts or restore shelves and two others that are easily accessible. Armed with a checklist I am willing to inspect them one at a time and report.

That is good info Norman.
I am not sure if Kent archives the details of the Philharmonics with his serial number list, but I certainly would be interested in creating a public list with Philharmonic dates and details- so we can put together a timeline for the production of these.
Yours is a red dialer Ken?
Scott:
The VR tube was moved to accommodate the remote control option. Later in the run of Philharmonics, a universal chassis was punched for both the standard and remote models. On this chassis, the VR tube was always up front.

Ken,
This is correct for the 9 knob version, but the earlier 7 knob versions had the VR tube at the rear of the chassis, behind and centered on the tuning capacitor compartment.
I guess when they changed the Ultra Shortwave circuit, they needed to move the VR, so up front it went.
You are very welcome, David. I am only happy that you might find it of use. If I make any additions/improvements I will be sure to post it here.
While working on the Philharmonic I find that I often consult the tube diagram from the instruction manual. It is a bit confusing with all those branching arrows and such. So, I made my own diagram with an attached tube list. I also printed out all base (terminal) diagrams separately.These little aids make me a little less confused and better able to trace the circuit. Hopefully this will be of use to someone.
