I have completed the chassis on my Canadian 345 Butterfly and thought I would share some before and after pictures. Special thanks goes to Oldrestorer who assisted with some parts!
All caps have been restuffed, all resistors checked and only two replaced. It had a bunch of different tubes in it and the 42 and 75 were both weak so all Philco tubes have been installed. The original line cord was in good shape but the plug was broken so a new vintage one was installed. New grommets were installed under the tuner and a new dial light was installed. I am very pleased with the outcome and it works and sounds excellent.
Top as it came from the cabinet.
Top after cleaning.
Bottom before restoration.
