Philco Canada 35A or 41-712 Tropic
#3

Well it's nice to know there was someone else spending their Sunday afternoon between lunch and dinner working on a radio recap! In my case it was a Coronado C640, which is like the classic Belmont 6d111.

Looks like you've got another nice project going, Ron. At least this one has a nicely flocked dial plate. It is too bad about the speaker. Perhaps temporarily, until you can have it re-coned or find a replacement, you could push some of the holes closed (or I should say back as far as they will go) from the backside, and put a dab of liquid tape over each of them. I've had success dealing with small holes in speaker cones this way. Of course, I was only dealing with one or two. But at least you might be able to make it work for now to try the set once you've finished replacing the caps & resistors
