Philco 41-250 (a/k/a The "Flood" Radio)
#4

Thanks very much. It was a very rewarding project considering what I started with.

For what this one went through, I also have to add that I didn't come across any open coils in it, not counting the damaged transformer, of course. Then again, this is not an every day radio, and I would imagine if I ran it more often than an hour or so every couple of months, it might be an issue at some point. Until then, I won't worry about it.

Again, thanks for the comments. They're very much appreciated.
