Philco 60 restoration
#14

Was about to install the can back, but one of the screws would not tighten. It developed some mushed therad. Would noty come out and would not tighten.
I tried bunch of tricks: pushing from the top while unscrewing, pulling with pliers and unscrewing, prying with a flat screwdriver while unscrewing, even tried the cat's claw nail pulling tool....nope.
Eventually I took my Dremel, cut off the tail, then cut off the head, then used a punch and it came out after an hour of flipping the bird at me.
A spare Philco screw went in just fine.
Will reconnect tomorrow.
Then the electrolytics.

   
   

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.
