What did you use on the tube shields? I have some here that need to look as good as yours!

I love seeing when someone takes a radio like this, that most people would think is beyond hope, and resurrecting it from the dead. Great job!

I have some here that need to look as good as yours!I used a product called e-coat, its made for engine compartments on newer cars and comes in 3 different colors, call your local auto paint supply place and ask for it. it comes in a raddle can , good stuff. The olive color is real close to a lot of tube sheilds like Philco . If you like rust like they do on American pickers just leave them alone

Nice job! I have a Philco 16L in a Lowboy style cabinet that I plan to work on in the next few months. I've heard that the 16 sounds great.

Hi Fred,
You did a beautiful job on this 16B. Looks brand new.
You mentioned in the title that this Philco 16B was dead when you got it. What was wrong with this 16B that caused it to die?
Tom
