First Restoration
#1

Hi Everyone,

I am brand new to this site and to the hobby of restoring antique radios, although I do have some experience working with electronics.

I have recently acquired a Philco 46-1226 for $50. It is missing the speaker and turntable, but appears to have all of the actual radio electronics from what I can tell. Im not quite sure where to start.

I do not want to just power on the unit, as I am afraid of frying something, and it also needs a new power cord before I can do so. Where should I begin so that I can make sure that if I give the radio power, I will not damage it any further.

I apologize if this question has been asked already, and if you do not want to repeat yourselves, please direct me to the correct thread.

Also, do you have any advice or info on this specific model?

Thanks
