Philco 39-30 restoration

[bandersen]

I'm finally just about done with this set!


I painted the edges around the speaker by hand with dark paint.


The radio came with these long "U" shims under the chassis. I wonder if they are factory or were they a later addition to compensate for mushed down rubber corner mounts ?
I've replaced the old mounts with reproductions and the shims seem redundant now.

Has anyone encountered these before ?

This has turned out really sharp. Excellent hand work around those speaker grille openings.

Never seen those shims on a Philco before, but it's curious how they happen to be almost perfect in length for that chassis.
