Philco 15DX restoration project

[bandersen]

After a loooooong hiatus, I finally got around to recapping this set and firing it up.

Lots of bakelite blocks to restuff including one with a wire resistor.


Some metal box caps too.


One big multi-section box cap too. All I had on hand were caps with stubby leads so I did what I could.


I also repaint the transformer shells and scored some copper caps I'll restuff for the filter caps.


I tested out the original speakers and found one was seized up with rust so went with my backup up pair. They have some surface rust too, but work fine.


So after all that does it actually work ? Yes, yes it does


Lots of cosmetic work left to do, but now that it's working I'm more motivated
