Philco 20 restoration.
#1

This 20 was gifted upon me by Tom. A few years ago, may be 5 or so.
I was supposed to buy it off of him, he brought it to Kutztown but then left it with someone for me, so I did not have a chance to pay.
And then when I reminded him of it, he said I could consider it a gift.
Mighty generous gift, Tom; thanks again!

So here it is.

   
   
   
   
   

It is in a pretty good shape; I think I will not be touching the cabinet at all. Let it bear the imprints of history.

I have taken it apart.
Amazingly the speaker seems to be all good. Both the field coil and the transformer. And the bent part with the plug even though it is a bit rubbed through, it is  in good enough shape to be left alone. Maybe one turn of a tape, just in case.

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.
