Philco 640 restore
#1

  Just finished this cabinet , I was a basket case got it last year at auction in Houston, 50 bucks Icon_eek All though im having problems or should I say my electrical guys cannot get the oscillator to work. I know the basics on these tube radios thats it , I do all the easy stuff or grunt work as you call it. Dick gave up on it and now Mike is pulling his hair out to. I cant tell them what to do, me no nothing Icon_think He will figure it out or it will become a shelve queen Icon_think I threw in a bonus picture for Ron. Im still waiting on grill cloth for my 16b,s and Dick still has some work to do on one chassis, it,s sounds distorted and low on power and needs an alignment .
