Question on my Philco 41-295 lamp
#24

I don't view restuffing as a form of dishonesty at all, more a matter of preserving the esthetic integrity of an all original, unmolested chassis. For it to be dishonest would imply that I would be cheating someone, but I only do this with sets I intend to keep, and if if I were to sell it at some point I would disclose that I had restuffed the paper capacitors or the filter cans, besides it takes more effort to do this then to just shotgun it with the bright yellow jobs, though it really is not that hard to do. I'm not sure that I would bother doing this with a 1941 Philco, maybe if the set was in excellent original condition all around, but if it was a set that had seen the service shop multiple times, and had rust on the chassis, then I probably wouldn't. One thing that I have been looking into is acquiring some small diameter cardboard tubing, it's easier to stuff a new tube then it is to clean out an old one and restuff it.
Regards
Arran
