My Philco 53-960 - LarryFS - 03-11-2018

I bought this radio almost two years ago and finally got around to refurbishing it.  Just finished and I'm happy with how it sounds.  I read threads on the Phorum about restoration of the 53-960 and found very useful information.  Thanks to those authors for helping me.  Next job is a high school classmate's Philco 38-3.

I think I have this one waiting in line too. I mean the Tropic.

Very nice Larry. I restored one last year. They do sound good. I bought some LEDs from pinball life to use in the dial lite. Learned that from Ron when he restored one awhile back, still got to put them in.

Thanks guys!  I read about the LED light mod too; maybe I'll do that in the future if I ever get caught up with other radios I need to work on.
