Philco 45 chassis restoration
#1

Hello all,

I have finished my 45 cabinet and now it is time to restore the chassis.
I have my chassis and a chassis I got for a friend. The chassis are quite different. I think mine is all jerry-rigged and I dont know how to change it back to original. I have included pictures of the differences so if anyone can explain and tell me how to return it to original I would be grateful.

First picture is of my chassis with 2 transformers. The second picture is of the other chassis but has only one transformer.

   
   

The next picture is of my chassis where there is a braided ground wire across the chassis and the second chassis does not have it.
   

The next pic is of my chassis with 2 caps added in where the other chassis has neither. I think these were to bypass the bakelite block?
   

The next photo is of something odd. there is a wire coming off the transformer on top of the chassis that should be attached to the tube but it is attached to a broken tube top with a wire going to a plug with a switch and 2 .047 caps. I have no idea what this is...
