Philco 53-642 AM tube portable

[Adam]

I've been fixing more radios… This one just had the usual bad power supply filter capacitor. I think it's harder to recap these tube portables, because it seems they always cram everything in a smaller chassis with less room to work in. No tubes with open heaters (which seems to be common in theses tube portables with the 1 volt tubes). To go along with the clear plastic handle, it has this cool looking clear plastic dial scale which was broken in one corner. I'm still repairing it, which is why it's not on the radio.
