Hello All,
I told everyone a few weeks ago I had the
opportunity to acquire some rare PHILCO factory service manuals for our Forward
Look vehicles. They arrived Friday and I've been studying the '57 search tune
models with great interest. It appears that I was correct. PHILCO had alot of
difficulties with the '57 models. There were several problems that made them
extend the warranty on parts and labor for an additional year. They had problems with the transistor, the relays, and the
search tune mechanisms. So much in fact, they made a supplement to their service
manuals showing the revisions made and what production run numbers had
the most difficulty. There is alot here to list so if you're interested in what
they did, please email me privately. I will work on my own radio to see what
these revisions do and if they correct the problem. Now if I could
only get the time off of work to get my radios and those of you that I promised
I would work on your radios. Will keep you all posted.
Take Care,
Frank
