Philco 86 restoration
#46

Tonight I put the radio back to the cabinet for the second time.
This time it sounds very nice, the distortion caused by hum is all but gone, and so is the hum itself, for the most part, just a little of it remains, even in the cabinet.
Rich sound with lots of base, the music over the Jersey shore oldies is exactly the one needed to appreciate that.
Not your Philco 38-690, but then no one expect it to be. And it is 1929. And the sound's very nice.

Well, the capacitors can is still out, will have to install it later when it is cleaned up.

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.
