Tuner supports for model 70, now distorted sound
#2

If I'm not mistaken (and I could be Icon_crazy ), the 70 uses six two-piece rubber supports. On my Philco model 29, I used three one-piece grommets from McMaster-Carr with rubber flatwashers to increase their thickness.

Correction: Renovated Radios offers original style two-piece grommets for Philco tuners here:

The listing says it is for most 1933-1936 Philco models. As Model 70 is a 1931-32 model, these may or may not work. Try to measure an old one if it has not turned to powder, and order accordingly.

I don't think Renovated Radios had those in stock when I was rebuilding my Philco 29, as that was around the time the former owner was passing the torch to the new owner.
