Philco Tropic 39-770EZ
#78

Final thoughts to wrap up this thread:

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of finding a 39-45 or 39-116 junker chassis for one of those band C RF coils. But that will have to wait for later. And as mentioned in my last post, I'll paint the power transformer when the weather gets warmer.

But for now, some "after" photos.

A close-up of the dial, with the set back together and with the lights out:

Thanks for following along. I am going to devote my time to some needed studies and a few home projects for awhile. I'll have another radio rebuild in the near future; I have not yet decided which one will be next.
