Philco Model 16B Cathedral
#7

Hi morzh,
I have never been one to clean up a chassis so it shines. Like you say, it should look 80+ years old. I try the window cleaner and see how it does. That is what I have used in the past. My clean up of the bakelites is, admittedly, probably excessive, but I don't mind doing it. The solder connections are very clean and shinny when finished, and that is my main goal.

I saw the wire lead going to the power switch, and thought it might be shielded. Thanks for confirming my suspicions. It appears to be in good shape, so will leave it alone. The volume pot is original, and so far, with a little Deoxit applied directly to the carbon track, it has quieted down quite a bit. So far, the audio circuit appears to be stock, but haven't gotten through it all yet. I will just have to see how long that lasts.

Thanks for the words of wisdom. I have been following most of your work and appreciate the advise.
