[clockman1954]

I have my grandparents' Philco 48-1270 phono / radio that is NEEDFUL to say the least. The turntable is missing (grandpa used it for a roundhouse on his train set decades ago) and I have never seen it actually work. I was hoping to "restore" the electronics myself, but I've never done a radio, period. I know everyone talks about capacitor replacement, etc, but where do I begin in the cleaning and repairing process? Anyone in the Southeastern Massachusetts area willing to help? I have a 1935 Wurlitzer jukebox in which I had the amp redone years ago, but the gentleman has "disappeared". I would like to find someone to diagnose a crackling I sometimes get in that as well.

Thanks, Chris the clock man.
