[badwaxcaps]

Don't worry guys and girls I am still here and still working away on the big Philco. My job has been taking a lot of my time recently but I have managed to finish the wax cap re-stuffing, clean both chassis, and restore the dial lamp holders. Removed the magnetic tuning switch assembly after finding the shaft rust-siezed in place. Drilled out the rivets and disassembled the switch completely. 3 days of soaking in penetrant and the shaft finally came out. Cleaned everything then reassembled the switch with 4/40 nuts and bolts. Works great now. I checked the failure-prone "ears" inside the switch and found them correct and solid. A few more lytic cans to deal with along with some wiring issues and the chassis will be done. I think I have an issue with my woofer though. It may be rubbing a little. Could just be dust. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
