89B, v3 almost there!
#4

Right now, I'm working to make a new set of speaker leads. I have the green and red, but not white/green, so I'm going with white. That will be the most visible of my efforts so far, until time turns the NEW leads into all straw-colored old ones again. CORRECTION: the 1/4"-long bits of shrink tubing will not show, top or bottom, but that's all you COULD see in there.
This radio had an early filter replacement. It looks to be a paper-dialectric 'condenser', beeswax, paper tube and all, but CANNOT be, because its 10mfd/450 V tells me it's NOT. It's a replacement Philco cap made just for this purpose, I betcha! And it reads .02 Ohms!!! That's the combined resistance of my test leads!! SHORTED!! WOW! You can see it to the left of the chassis in the bottom-chassis photo. I have a buddy here in Medford that will want it to restuff it, most likely. Caps are do-able but restuffing resistors are out of my league. I can't WAIT to burn it in!
Then I'll try to align it without ticking my apartment neighbors off with the sig-gen!! Icon_angel
