I'm sure you'll enjoy my chronicle of Sisyphean struggle, it's a great feeling and an honor to make this my first post here.

From what I've seen of the Hagstar's previous restorations, I have no doubt it sounds just a good as it looks.
Welcome, John! Glad to have you aboard. -- Ron Ramirez Ferdinand IN

Congratulations John, that is sure a beauty!
Thanks for the link to your restoration steps, that was an education all by itself! John KK4ZLF Lexington, KY "illegitimis non carborundum"

VERY nice! Color me impressed! The 690 has been on my short list for many years now, they tend to be elusive and pricey. Well done!!
I recently got a 37-116 and have gotten it squared away and playing. It is easily the best sounding set that I have! I can only imagine how great a 690 model sounds.

I'm speechless John. Oh Em Gee!
Oh, and welcome also.  Chuck (The Other Philco Guy) Chuck Schwark, The Philco Repair Bench [Image: http://www.philcorepairbench.com/images/philog3tiny.gif] http://www.philcorepairbench.com
