>Who's brilliant idea was it at Philco to print a radio dial with ink that wiped off with something as mild as just soap and water?
Don't know but oms cleans it just fine.
>As for the tuning dial goes, how do you get it off the tuning shaft,
There is the shiny washer looking thing in the center of the dial. It has two small round holes. Take a pair of needle nose pliers and insert the tips of the pliers into the two holes. Hold the dial and turn the pliers counterclockwise. The washer will come off then the dial can be removed.

The caps @ the spkr plug are .006@1kv
The chassis looks pretty unmolested. Volume control is the original one so I would pop it out and clean it. You've got abt a 50/50 chance that it's going to be usable. If the sw is working the pot maybe worn out.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
