New to Forum- 47-1230 is my 1st Restoration
#13

So I've been working feverishly over the last week and a half or so restoring the main chassis. I got replacement caps and resistors from the folks up in Canada and also some parts from Radiodaze. Tonight I ordered new tubes from Bob in Ohio. Right now I have successfully replaced every cap and resistor in section 1,2 & 3. I'm starting section 4 tonight. I decided to just replace everything vs. testing each piece, that way I know everything is new in there. I make sure to test the new part before and after installing it, so I think it should be fine. Probably by the time the tubes get here I'll be ready to start testing and checking under power. I'll post some pictures of the finished chassis once I get it completed.

On another note and probably not suited for this forum, I bought supposedly a 1929 RCA floor radio at an estate sale. Looks like it will be my next restoration once the Philco is completed. I need to research it to see exactly what I have, but it is gorgeous and for $75 I am very happy with it. Ok, back to the basement workshop and on to section 4. Icon_smile
