Philco 51 mantel clock & radio
#8

I finally received the radio and am somewhat disappointed.

The cabinet is in fairly nice shape however one of the decorative cup washers on top that secure the speaker is missing. Does anyone know where a replacement might be had?

I'm not sure if the off/on and volume control knobs are correct. They're push on, but there's not much shaft protruding through the cabinet, so they easily come off. I haven't yet checked to see if the chassis is forward as far as it will go.

The clock motor runs fairly quiet. However, it's not evident how the time is set. I'm guessing there should be a shaft that turns the minute's hand, but there's no evidence of one. If so, is there a replacement motor available or someone that can refit whatever's missing on this one?

It could be a nice radio once I get that stuff fixed up.
