New acquisition, Philco 655B
#1

Well she made it to me safe & sound. The cabinet needs refinishing. It's been stained at some point in it's life. But, the cabinet is solid and all there. No nicks or chunks taken out. I haven't pulled the chassis yet to asses what it needs besides the usual. Brought it up on the variac, it just hummed. Good sign so far. Someone replaced one of the 42 tubes in the P-P section with a 41. The volume control was replaced with a switch of the wrong shaft size. Thank god for part sets Icon_wink Chassis is nice and clean, just dusty. Anyone have a pic of what the cabinet should look like? I would imaging Philco toned the sides dark? I can't find any good pics on the NET.
