Hi Guys, I have been hard at work electronically restoring a 38-93 I own. This will be my third restoration in six months, and my first Philco project. The other two being AA5's. This set plays great for a 5 tube set. I have re-stuffed both paper caps, electrolytic and two Bakelite blocks. All were pretty simple to do, I couldn't of done it without Chuck's wonderful Philco Repair Bench website. I am posting a before and after picture below. Such a nice little set to retore and it sure sounds great. let me know what you guys think.

I think I am ready to take on that 15x I own Icon_biggrin.

Thankyou for the kind words sir. I double checked it with my component tester and it read 2.7 ohms at .02mH.Stormlord5500 — 08:14 AM
