Philco Tropic 39-770EZ
#38

The pop rivets I'm using are 1/8" diameter, medium length. The washers I used under each tube socket (on top of the socket if you're looking at it from under the chassis) are soft aluminum and keep the pop rivets from breaking the socket as this way, the pop rivets expand into the washer instead of into the socket.

I know, I should be using brass eyelets. But I don't have any, and have never used them. One of these days, I'll get some, and the proper tools, and try that method out.
