Well...I did some exploring...last night.
The chassis safely rests on it's back edge, but the speaker is soldered to it's termination points!
It will not be disconnected it, but this shouldn't be too much of an annoyance, other than moving the chassis. This will be a rare occurrence.
The bottom side is very clean, and the wires still show their colors! I only saw one short "hunk" of rubber.
One of the electrolytics has been correctly replaced, leaving the original installed, yet disconnected. I wonder if it was the same tech that rolled his own 6F6?
I see 9 Bakelite blocks and one peculiar metal can pn:30-4470 or 72 on the drawing. This is essentially across each cathode of the 6H6. Only our Savior knows it's function, well, at least I don't!
Not one but two candohms!
These could end up left alone, but I'll see.
The FC, choke, and both audio transformers show good dc resistances!
Lastly, the RF deck is a piece of art and reminds me of the RF deck on my HQ-140X, with all of the tuned circuits! Yes, it'll be a royal pain to restore, but Philco did not skimp here. Hopefully, all of the coils are good. Checking these will be my next task, but don't hold your breath!
