Philco model 512
#4

I spent many hours with one of those, the 514 green. It had spent 30+ years in the attic of a garage. Worst clean up job I've ever had. That paint is tough, I took off a lot of nicotine. Best part was the ps capacitor block was filled with wax, not tar, easy peasy. Worst part was the summer heat from the garage venue had melted some of the wax and it oozed out onto the chassis. Replacing the metal dial cord was a hair puller.
