Philco Car Radio Cosmetic Resto
#17

Here's one more thing that I forgot to mention. Although non-cosmetic in nature, I always adjust the radio's antenna trimmer when I first get the radio and once again before I put it up for sale. With this particular model, the trimmer screw is just below the tuning shaft in the lower right corner. First, make sure there is no background noise interference from fluorescent lights, washing machines, etc. Then find a weak station around 1400 and turn the screw to the strongest signal and you're done. I always tell the buyer to re-adjust the screw, once the radio is installed, since antenna setups can be different. After all, you want maximum performance from your newly installed radio. You can see my makeshift antenna setup just above my workbench which works fine for my purposes.
