Philco 42-345 Restoration/Repair
#1

Not for certain if this will be a full restoration or repair, but after opening the unit up I would rather clean and fix what all that's needed before returning to the customer. What I have discovered so far is the power cord has a bad connection to the chassis, the manual channel dial cable is broken, the built in Antenna is missing and a couple of the wires with the rubber need to be replaced. I had already powered it up to hear what the customer mentioned and it did power up but has nothing but static. It appears that at some time in the past someone else may have worked on it as 2 wires were used for the antenna and mismatched screws on the bottom. I will post some beginning photos to this post.
