I have been a busy bee. Honing my skills and learning as much as I can. My little Model 20 consolette just got a big brother! A 38-690 has found it's way into my very happy hands. I will be taking my time and doing this one right. All caps and lytics will be re-stuffed to preserve the original appearance under the chassis. All tubes that need replacing will be Philco branded. Proper cloth wire where needed etc etc. This set is completely original from what I can tell. Its extremely dirty and the amp chassis has some exterior rust issues but nothing terrible. It is complete and the cabinet is solid although the original finish is unfortunately too far gone to save. I'm gonna need help guy and girls. Any and all tips and tricks or advice is greatly appreciated. I know the importance of this console in Philco history and want to treat it right. Thanks!
