610b tuning rubber bumpers replacements
#1

Hello everyone,
I took my Chassis out of my Philco 610b and noticed the two rubber bumpers near the tuning dial are hard and brittle. 
My question is what have you guys used to replace those bumpers or should just leave it as is?
Sincerely Richard

You can use these  Product Details | Renovated RadiosTuner Support | Philco | Tuner Parts | Renovated Radios LLC II It takes 6 total. two pair in the front and one pair in the back. If you leave it as is the dial my not line up w/the bezel properly. The tuning cap will feel loose and the tuning shaft may drag on the cabinet.

figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!

Hello Terry,
The two bumpers that I am talking about are on the upper left and right top of the dial far as the tuning grommets they were replaced when I restored the radio about 20 years ago !

I'm not sure but the 610 likely uses the "small" supports. Measure your old ones (if you still have them) to be sure.

Not a problem I pulled the chassis to replace the electrolytic capacitors with Film type .
