1942 Philco Radio

[Captainclock]

Well I restrung the tuner string yet again on this old philco and this time I was sucessful at getting it going, all I did was add a 3rd turn to the tuning knob and voila! It works!

So now all I need to do is recap the radio and fix the dial glass and I'll be good to go hopefully.

As I mentioned in earlier postings, a lot of times, you have to try a few different time to get these things right. I don't know of any tech that was crazy about dial cord restringing.

Yeah, I'm definitely not too crazy about it that's for sure.

So yeah, I just need to get this radio recapped and the dial glass fixed up and that should straighten things out for this radio (I guess I'll just leave the damaged bezel in place and maybe let someone else monkey with replacing that if they want to, once I get this thing up and running electronically and sold to an interested party.
