Phour Year Philco 38-690 Basket Case Restoration - Hagstar - 10-05-2011 10:43 PM I'm sure you'll enjoy my chronicle of Sisyphean struggle, it's a great feeling and an honor to make this my first post here. http://hagstar.phanfare.com/1390316 After- John H. Hinesburg, VT Re: Phour Year Philco 38-690 Basket Case Restoration - Glenn Roberts - 10-05-2011 11:12 PM WOW. I don't know what else to say, except it is a beauty. How does she sound? Glenn Re: Phour Year Philco 38-690 Basket Case Restoration - Ron Ramirez - 10-05-2011 11:46 PM From what I've seen of the Hagstar's previous restorations, I have no doubt it sounds just a good as it looks. Welcome, John! Glad to have you aboard. Re: Phour Year Philco 38-690 Basket Case Restoration - Eliot Ness - 10-06-2011 01:51 AM Congratulations John, that is sure a beauty! Thanks for the link to your restoration steps, that was an education all by itself! Re: Phour Year Philco 38-690 Basket Case Restoration - TA Forbes - 10-06-2011 03:59 AM VERY nice! Color me impressed! The 690 has been on my short list for many years now, they tend to be elusive and pricey. Well done!! I recently got a 37-116 and have gotten it squared away and playing. It is easily the best sounding set that I have! I can only imagine how great a 690 model sounds.
