Philco Model 53-954
#9

I had a bad experience with one of the sellers on radioattic. The radio was listed as totally restored but when I got it few stations could be picked up and there was motor boating in the lower end. I took the chassis out and none of the caps had been replaced nor was anything else. After repacking all paper and electrolytics and most resistors, aligning it it played fine. I was not a happy camper about the deal and told him why. He refunded half the cost and said he was told it had been restored. He should have checked first before listing it as such.

I was more impressed with this seller after he sent me some pics of another of his restorations where he did all the wiring changes, caps and resistors.
