I thought Philco stopped using backelite blocks by 40-s some time, but no.....even though it is just one, the AC line filter cap, but they used it there. Flooded eylets too. Hate that.
And it has an RF chassis. I thought they learned some lessons, but again - they decided to use it. I moved it - it it pretty snug and still has some flexing, so I will not be replacing those grommets.
Note sure about the tuning cap: all is very clean, not even much dust. But something puts resistance on moving the dial, and I think it might be that bushing or a clutch or whatever that is that couples the tuning cap with the cord. So I might have to touch that part if I cannot make it rotate smoothly.
Lots and lots of tubular caps. I even thought of skipping the restuffing but then I started doing it. The number of the caps reminds me of that 1940 Zenith Spinet. Way too. Over 30.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
