Philco Electronic Restoration is the place to talk about the electronic (chassis) repair/restoration of a Philco set.

If you want to brag about your latest find, talk about the merits of, say, a 16B vs. a 17B, etc., the place to do that is Philco Home Radios. That is the appropriate subforum for general discussions of Philco radios.

If you want to discuss cabinet repair/restoration of a Philco, it needs to be in Philco Cabinet Restoration.

Spot something on eBay or craigslist? Then post it in Items For Sale Online.

Need your Philco radio chassis restored? Place an ad in the Wanted Ads section. Ads are not allowed in this section of the Phorum.

And please remember, all posts must conform to the Phorum Rules.

Thanks.
