Hi all! Here is the Philco 50 that I just started.

I bought it off of eBay - and it arrived intact (barely). There's a bunch to reglue before I'd trust the cabinet to hold a radio again - but since this is the electronics restoration let's dive in!

The chassis seems not too bad at first glance (not much rust) but it has definitely been a mouse house!

In fact, the mouse skeleton was still at the bottom of the tuning capacitor! Apparently, after sleeping upstairs in the tuning capacitor the mouse like to go down to the kitchen and munch on wires. Note the long, now bare wires underneath. Icon_problem

The speaker looks like a really cute miniature version of the 20/70/90 speaker - and is in nice shape - tests good. The mouse never found the speaker cable so it's in pristine shape.
