So where should I start.... Philco 38-116
#17

I posted the pics of the underside chassis here:

Plus some pics of me trying to take the dial apart and a pic of what it looks like now taken apart and clean up with goop.
If you can't use water on the dial how to you clean it off, just use goop on there too? Wow that RCA 1930 online course is crazy, and I quote. "The study of the electron theory as applied to the vacuum tube is comparatively easy if the student will concentrate, otherwise it is a difficult study and only results in a state of confusion."

On the underside some parts/wires look wet or something like something melted on it... not sure... bought a book or two on radio restoration but not sure I'll be able to follow everything with out a bit more review of the basics so I'm just gonna press forward on the cabinet.
