Philco 60B
#1

just want to show off cabinet work (done by Ben Sharp) on this one- first the 'before'

   

   

then the 'After': empty cabinet, the chassis will be forthcoming. (that means one of these days)

   

   

We probably do need to tighten the grill cloth a little...
...and yes, that is a Philco T-7 126 recently found (by Ben) on Craigslist.  It is the first transistor made by Philco, and it even plays!
Regards,
Simon

Excellent job!

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

The apple doesn't fall too far from the tree!  I am working on the technique for getting the grille cloths on right - something about cardboard and pins...  I will practice and fix the previous ones once I get it right (I have lots of material to work with)

Wow Ben, I envy your woodworking and finishing skills.  Icon_clap I have a few sets I’ve been putting off because they need cabinet work. On the grille cloth thing, what I have done on a few is use 3M spray adhesive on the cardboard backer, then with a spray bottle I lightly dampen the cloth before applying it to the backer. Then after it sets awhile, use a hair blow dryer on it. As it dries, it will kind of shrink some and tighten up! Just my $.02 worth.
