The PHILCO Phorum

After getting this at Kutztown in Spring 2012, it languished on the round-to pile until a few weeks ago. The major problem was a huge crack on the bottom that lead over to a loose chunk in the corner (thus its $3 price).



I did a thorough epoxy/fiberglas repair to the crack.



The outside then needed some epoxy to fill the outside crack residue.



Then a tape-up to protect stuff.



And then the finished look. the color was the closest that I could find. I can live with it. You can easily add a zero to the price that I paid. .....Labor of love again.

Looks very nice!!

Looks nice to me! Certainly better than I could've done.

Thanks......In regards to the "secretaries put these under theirs desks and used their feet/shoes to operate them" suggestion, that little clear jewel that shows the "color" of the station would not have lasted one week! Plus, the cleaning crews would have done a number on set, as well. It will be a fun radio to show people, due its unusual features.

Great work!  

Great job, DK!

Incidentally, they were not intended to be placed under desks and operated with a foot (else why have a color indicator to show which station you were tuned to?).

 My point exactly.
