Philco 20 Donated Finished
#19

Here is the chassis. Sorry the picture is not that good. I had not looked at it till now.

All caps restuffed.

All dogbones rebuilt or new (with 3W or better rated resistors)

[attachment=5013]

Some people have said that it is nutz to put this much effort into a radio that they made 350K of, rebuilding resistors and all. Well, of those 350,000 radios I would like to think that there are a few that are going to survive the next 80 years, still working, and appears as they did a year or two after manufacture. And that is what I try to do on any radio made before 1940 weather they made 1 or 1 million.

P.S. no electrolytic caps were used in this restoration (either). Why use something that you know is going to fail? yah, I know - nutz.
