Philco 38-690 restoration
#31

It is finished. It is aligned and working on all bands.

I made wood blocks to replace the ones somebody else had lost or thrown away. The radio chassis just sits on four rubber chassis supports on the slanted top shelf, so the wood blocks prevent it from sliding out.

The bottom of the power supply and amplifier chassis - the thin gray wires are redundant grounds, to supplement the rivets on the terminal strips
