Philco 118
#1

Hi guys.

Decided to start on the 118.
This one I picked up on my way to get the 37-116 in MA I bough for Peter almost 2 years ago, in August 2014.
If anyone remembers, this was from the guy who all of a sudden decided not to sell it - he got offended by something. But eventually I got it.

The cabinet is in decent shape: arch support in one place separates a bit but that's a gluing job. No bowing, pretty solid.
No screws hold the chassis in place from the bottom - it is held by the two brackets in the back. Don't know if that was the intent: the brackets are clearly factory but the missing screws I am not sure about.

Anyways, here are some photos:

   
   
   
   
   



As you can see from the last photo, someone repaired it before: almost every backelite block has tubular caps soldered in parallel. The cord is not original Icon_smile  which is painfully obvious.
Very familiar picture: it is very much like the 18, which I restored 3 years ago or so.

Good news: the speaker has both the field coil and transformer good.

Well, this is it for now.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
