Looking for schematic Ford 6TPD and 7TPD car radios
Some guy dropped off two car radios from a 67 Fairlane. They are similar but a year apart and they have some differences on the boards.
One just needs a recap but the other has different issues. There are several encapsulated modules in these radios and I'd like to know what it's in them. |

I can tell you that it is a Philco-made radio, and that you may be able to search https://sites.google.com/site/identi...adios-1/ford-2 Then, there is the Philco Forum: https://philcoradio.com/phorum/archi...ead-13086.html At least that is a start. But, I suspect you have already done this. Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA |

On the Philco "Phorum", one member was looking for the schematic and another member said he would send to the other member, but that was like a ten year old post. Thanks for looking. |

Those numbers are in SAMs AR36 and AR41 but are listed for Falcon. Fairlane lists TPO Your right Tom, it's a 6TPO. It's stamped in the side but barely legible. The '67 just needed a recap. The '66 was recapped many years ago, apparently by me according to the owner when he picked up the '67, but now it's dead other than a thump on turn on. I injected a finger pulse into the final, and it's loud and clear. One of the IF transistors has no voltage on any pin, so it's got a bad encapsulated module as it has very few discrete components on the board. The closest manual I had is an AR-43 for a Galaxie, but the board in that has no encapsulated modules. The only thing they share is a PNP Germanium output. Glad I don't need one of those. A friend thinks he might have the AR-36 so I'll find out tomorrow. |

It'll be a bit of a kluge, but you can substitute that Couplate with discrete components. -- "I am a river to my people." Jeff-1.0 WA6FWi http:foxsmercantile.com |

I saw him today at our association picnic and he brought it with him. I just took camera photos and emailed them to myself to print out. |

Back when I was a pup, we had an old 1960s Motorola TV in the shop that had a bad encapsulated module for the vertical circuit that was NLA. I told my dad I'd make one, so I just got a breadboard and put together the half dozen caps and resistors and painted it with Corona Dope (didn't need it, but it looked better). Worked great. |

BTW, if anyone wants a copy of this manual (Ford 6TPO) radio, email me and I'll send the attachments. |
