Hey guys,
I've decided that my period correct bathroom remodel should also have a period correct radio to go in it! I rummaged around the stuff I forgot I had pile and found a little 1939(stamped NOV 1 1939) PT-33, don't remember where I got it but there it was. Cosmetically it's in great shape and will look like new when cleaned up. It will of course need to be rebuilt. It has all that wonderful vintage rubber coated wire that will need replacing as well as all the components crammed into that tiny chassis ! My question to the forum is, has anyone ever restored one of these Transitones and how does it perform? I also have a Airline 14WG625A in an ivory painted bakelite cabinet that is a candidate as well. I like the Philco PT-33 because it's smaller, doesn't require repainting and well, it's a Philco!!!! The Airline is bigger but has a neater Art Deco cabinet and is a 6 tube layout to the Philcos 5 tubes. They are about a horse apiece when it comes to rebuilding, the Airline also has the same dried out wiring but has a little more room to work on stuff. So, let me hear your thoughts! Thanks!
