Philco 650X has a new home
#11

Doug,

This radio seems to be in great shape for the price. I found a 650x locally for $50 dollars and the cabinet was in very rough shape, lifting vernier, opened joints, gouges, rust on chassis, bad caps, dark dial, and on and on. But I'm loving every moment of restoration from caps' to cabinet.
I am glad to see the pictures you had because to seems to show the colloring mine had before stripping. My faceplate is darker than yours shows. Yours being lighter realy shows off the detail of the wood grain ... beautifuly.

Good score

FYI: My speaker cone was destroyed. I fornd a supplier locally that sold me a 10" replacement cone so I am trying my hand at rebuilding it with the original spyder and paper shims while re-assembling. Wish me luck and patience.

Keep em glowin and goin...
