Philco model 70 users clean up that power detector
#11

Don't take this the wrong way - but, after spending hrs. on the finish and restuffing caps, and replating parts, and making replica resistors - I want my 70 to sound raspy, because they did and people seemed to be OK with that.

Good mod though.

You know, mine only sounds raspy on strong stations (it might be weak stations, but it has been a while).

Now be nice. I could have said " If you want it to sound good, trade it for a Scott". But you know that I would never say that. Icon_smile

That "raspy" is a part of history now.
