Philco Model 89 Changes Now Fully Documented

I've just posted a new page on my website which, like my page on Philco Model 60 sets, traces the evolution of the Model 89.

If you have ever worked on a Philco Model 89, or are contemplating doing so in the future, you need to see this new page on my website. Here, I have incorporated ALL of the documented changes (and a few undocumented ones) to Model 89. I also made modified schematics showing these changes, which resulted in ten different schematics!

You should find this page to be very beneficial to you if you own or work on a Model 89 set.

The page has a lot of images, so please allow time for these images to load if you have a slow internet connection.

Philco Phorum down most of the day today

Hi folks,

It appears the Philco Phorum was down for most of the day today. Of course, it goes down when I am away. When I returned and was advised of the outage (thanks to Chuck), I found myself unable to access the server, so I could do nothing about it but contact the hosting company.

They said it was a problem with the server itself. Apparently they have it fixed now, as the Phorum is back and running smoothly.

Apologies to all for the outage and any inconvenience it may have caused.
