I'm starting to restore a Philco 16X, I need spare parts. Please, help me find it
#28

I continue the restoration of the Philco, prepare the chassis for repair, clean it of dirt and conduct an inspection and revision of the volume of work that will have to be done. Perhaps I will shock many restorers with my method of radical cleaning of many years of dirt and rust... Icon_mrgreen But I hasten to reassure you - not a single detail has deteriorated, but only become cleaner. Sorry, but it has been a long time since I repaired a chassis with such a terrible amount of dirt. Yeah ... The scale, which I planned to replace before cleaning, after cleaning became like new.

"Philco 16X. Part three. Chassis cleaning and inspection before repair

In this video I will carry out preparatory work before repairing the chassis of the unique American radio console Philco 16X 1933...34. Namely, what methods I had to use to clean this chassis for a long time from many years of dirt and rust and what parts need to be replaced on it after a careful inspection and inspection."
