Philco 39-45 Push Buttons
#16

I pulled the chassis out of the cabinet this morning to clean and lubricate the push button deck and found something that made me pretty happy. The preset station coil that I thought was missing, isn't. Someone had "adjusted" the slug all the way in until it fell out the front end. Icon_wtf (herp derp) It was just a matter of fitting it back into the coil and reversing the screw until it was returned to its proper place. Now I have all 8 preset stations.

While I had it out, I went ahead and replaced the formerly rubber-insulated wires on the preset assembly. I'm also going to touch up the dial glass paint before everything goes back in.

It's not how bad you mess up, it's how well you can recover.
