Looks like things are getting underway. Glad to see the old case is to be used and will look nice when finished. I found that I had one with a cracked case(not broken completely as was yours) and used the other brown case on it.
I also just picked up two more of the Philco Hippos(brown) at a local estate sale. I am almost completely through restoring one of them. I like these radios as they have an RF amplifier and pick up San Antonio well. I live near Austin, and AM radio in Austin is all talk, sports or music I do not like. They also sound pretty good.
