It's hard to believe that I got this wonderful Philco almost a year ago. I got it for free off a friend. It only got two stations when I got it. Easy fix, all I had to do was solder the antenna cable back together. Does anybody here attend the annual Michagan Antique Radio Extravaganza? I will not be able because I was forced to be in high school band, and they have some stupid camp that I must attend that week.
What is probably most incredible about this radio is that it has ALL the ORIGNINAL wiring, capacitors, transformers, everything is original. Unfortunately, it is slowly developing symptoms related to bad paper capacitors and electrolytics. There might be a recapping session for this radio in the near future.
I have no idea how to recapp a radio. I dabbled with recapping 70's Sony and it did not go so well...
