Philips BX750A tube radio restoration - Part 5. Job done. Final alignment and checks.

Philips BX750A tube radio restoration log part 5.
This one is complete, and a great result.
An IF alignment brought back some much needed strength to the AM signal, as it seems someone had tweaked the IF transformers at some time. The FM was more or less optimised, so very little improvement was achieved (or needed).
A final tuning check of the bands is done as proof of the pudding.

CORRECTION: As mentioned by a viewer, the use of the old blown resistor as a 'binding post' for the replacement in the power supply circuit in the initial video, was not a good idea as the old resistor could come back to life a cause havoc. I removed the connection to this resistor to avoid problems.
