Next case - Odd Philco 42-720 Tropic
#80

Using the dial scale scan sent to me by Mike Feldt, I made a negative image of it and then printed it to actual size to make alignment easier:

And, yes, folks, it does work on all four bands. Icon_thumbup

Other than tying up a couple loose ends, this chassis is finally done! Icon_biggrin Icon_clap Icon_clap

This has been one of my most challenging electronic restorations. I am glad it is finally up and running again. Thanks go out to Greg (NostalgiaRadioTime), Mike (in KC), Sam, and Mike Feldt for helping make this possible.

Now, the cabinet may pose another challenge. You may recall that I previously mentioned holes having been drilled in the side. The holes correspond to alignment screws. So I wonder if those holes were drilled when the radio was built, or later?
