Hi all...
I'm working on a Philco 90 cathedral early version (stamped May 11 1931, serial #069786)
and trying to restore the under chassis. At some point the two-cap metal box on the back of
the chassis was removed. Any suggestions on how to replicate the box, or would you just put
in restuffed paper caps and let it look like a "period" repair? I've already made a box out of an
old mustard tin, but it would survive only a cursory look before it becomes very apparent the
thing is hand made.
By the way, I've already replicated two resistors using Syl's epoxy molding technique... great
results!
