Restoration of UK Philco 282 Empire Five
#1

Some of you had asked in this thread about whether or not I had ever done any restoration work to my UK Philco 282 Empire Five.

The fact is, I did most of the restoration work around the beginning of this year, starting around Christmas 2012 and stopping in January 2013 once I had it about 90 to 95% complete.

I chronicled its restoration on the Facebook group Philco Radio Enthusiasts, a group I had started in late 2012. I wrote about its restoration there as a way to get the new Facebook group going.

Unfortunately, the way Facebook is set up, it is very time-consuming to find old posts. Plus, Facebook does not keep posts in chronological order, but orders them based on replies. So, I have decided to repeat the information here, where I believe it will be easier to find.

So here goes...

I'm going to show you my progress in rebuilding a Philco (UK) 282 Empire Five tombstone.
