I opened up the Philco 610 to take a look tonight, and under all of the dust and dead spiders seems to be a relatively untouched jewel! I don't imagine that Gudemann capacitor is installed at the Philco plant, but I really can't see any soldering that doesn't look factory-made, and the power transformer has respectable homage on the primary and the secondary, as do the choke, the two section wire-wound tubular resistor, the output transformer, and the field coil. I wouldn't be surprised if I could put a new power cord on it and turn it on...of course, I won't. But I may just look at its dusty beauty for a while.
I think the cabinet might just need the Gojo treatment followed by some scratch doctoring. The Grille cloth has some separation starting up in the area over the speaker opening. It isn't actually separated, yet. I wonder if I could place some kind of backing over the separation to keep it intact.
It has a home-made antenna, though...at least I assume its homemade. I can't imagine Philco letting that antenna out of the factory. Any pictures of the original antenna out there?
And the tubes all test good on my Triplett 2413.
