Philco Model 95
#1

I picked this thing up a few months ago. It's in the early lowboy cabinet with the sea shell grill and wooden insert. Cabinet is in good shape but the top has some chips out of it.
I was glad to see that it had it's 45 tubes still in it, globes none the less. All in all it's in good shape but the metal dial cords are broken. And someone tried to fix it by starting to disassemble the tuning condenser piece by piece. Mostly the stator plates are unscrewed from the frame and some of the hardware is missing. I think I can fabricate the lost parts.
So just took the tuning condenser out and remounted the dangling plates and got them aligned so there are no shorts.
Next is to make up two new wire dial cords then the worst job is trying to get it all back together. I did one about 40yrs ago on my model 87. As I remember it it wasn't any fun. Anyway got to find a couple of small springs and make up the cords and then the fun begins! As an aside took my 61 ford in for state inspection all good but needs one ball joint replaced. Don't know which I'm going to enjoy doing the most!

Any of you guys done one lately? Any pointers? (the cord not the bj)
Tnx!

figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
