The PHILCO Phorum

Ladies and Guys,

I have started another Strat chassis restoration. It will take a while.

I have started a blog post with pictures, videos and such that will touch on many of the aspects that make this radio special.

This is an experience many would !ove to have but few ever will.
My white envy to you.
I know you will do stellar job on it.

I look forward to following your Blog Russ, I learn lots from you and wish I had 1/4 of your talent.

Thanks guys. It will be a lot of work - again.

Updated chassis deconstruction and Allen Bradley controls.

Updates posted, variable IF, resistor kit and continued deconstruction. Almost ready for the chrome shop.

That's quite a job doing a chassis deconstruction on a 1000Z, that for documenting your process.

Your resistors look beautiful and all of your work is inspiring to all of us.  Have you documented how you make the resistors?

I believe Steve has thread(s) on how he makes those.
Not sure but Russ might have published his also.

I don't think that I did a video (yet) but it was explained - somewhere. Might get to that.

Yes, I know of Steve's method:

And Nathan has a similar method:

And there is a guy who molds them out of epoxy putty:

I think Russ once said he uses parts from the originals, but I don't want to derail this excellent 1000Z thread any further.

Updates on the Power/amp chassis including rebuilding the original filters.

At this point it might be usefull to reference the earlier project:

Power/Amp all done - less building a new interconnect cable.

The chassis is back from the chrome shop.

Now where do all of those parts go - - -
