a few philcos

Well, no questions to ask at this point, but the cabinet restoration section has been sitting idle for some time. I'll get things going with a few attempts at inserting some pictures. (Sorry if this doesnt work..... )
Heres a few past projects. The 14x and 116x were "glue em up" specials, while the 38-116x was in great shape, however the finish was covered with a profusion of scratches and nicks, probably due to its sheer size and weight and the trouble probably encountered when trying to move the beast.

Someone had attempted to modify the 116x with PP 6L6G outputs, but didnt quite finish the transition.... with a little help from Ron and Chuck a while back, I was able to get it up and running. The set needless to say has sufficient gain (grin!).

I sure wish winter wasnt coming so fast. I'm going to try to squeeze in two more cabinet projects before the weather gets too cold here (WI). I try and do several cabinets during the summer and then I can "hibernate" in the basement during the winter and dig into the chassis work.

Take care.
