Thanks Steve and others. I'll say this about the Philco chassis, it's a good bit easier to work on than the CTC-16 I did previously. The Philco doesn't have nearly the web of wire that you find on a 16, crisscrossing the pc boards. What I'm really saying is this: the Philco is a lot easier to get parts on to and off of the pc boards than the RCA. But so far I am not impressed with the tuner - but this may be caused by age, corrosion and/or dirt which I couldn't get off during this first go around. I've got Phil's DeOxit 5 now and it seems to do a much better job than ordinary contact cleaner. I'll let you know how it goes next week as I do more work on the set.
