Claude,

Si vous avez besoin d'aide pour remplacer le condensateurs, ou pour quelque chose d'autre, faites-le savoir.
Cela devrait être très simple. (J'espère que vos bobines sont intactes.)
hello Sirs

Last saturday I continued to restick the veneer on the left bottom side of the console.  It takes a lot of time , as it' s not possible to work on both sides at a time , due to lack of clamps !

Next step on the other side , next wednesday !
Ce sont des pinces sérieuses Icon_smile
hello Morzh

The word " pince " in french is used for smaller objects  , like those used to hang linen outside on a cord to dry

For my use , the right word is " serre joint  " , that is ti say to " squeeze seam "  

a " pince " is only to attach , a " serre joint "is used to " squeeze very hardly " to pieces

In that application , after gluing the veneer , or the support , you have to squeeze very hardly the two surfaces to throw away the excedent of glue or air bubbles, and everywhere , and also to get the veneer very flat on the support , driving the tolls the manner and order you drive the screws when you change the gasket of the motor of a car

hereafter is a " pince "
This is exactly what I meant Icon_lol - I used the Russian "прищепка" (pri-sche-pka) to look for the word. (it was a joke).

https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Прищепка

The one you used is "струбцина" (stroob-tsin-ah), or C-clamp, which is the "serre-joint" Icon_smile

I usually use Wikipedia to translate categories; I simply put in the word in English or Russian, make sure this is what I am looking for, and then simply switch the language.
I have a question Morzh or for Ron :

I sent the link of this thread to a friend , but he told me he cannot see the pictures . What occurs ? Perhaps he does be a member and have to log in to see the pictures , or it occurs an other problem ? perhaps his navigator ? but he says to me probably no , as he tried with two different navigators and encounters same problem .

have you the solution ? thanks in advance
When I was a student .... 50 years ago ... , I learnt russian for two years , but lack of practice , I have almost all forgotten , pero yo hablo el idioma español bastante bien !
the problem with the link: The photos only could be seen by those who are registered and logged in. He has to register in order to view the pictures on this website.

PS. For a French to learn Spanish should be fairly easy, except as I know, when speaking a closely related language, I always get confused when using similar words.
I was this afternoon cleaning the four small  hinges of the little doors to of the console  I can notice  inlaid incscriptions  io them
N. L. Co, Rockford.

I don't know if this is the same company, but there is that Rockford Process in IL, USA, who still make hinges Icon_smile

Correct - one must be a Phorum member to see most pictures in Phorum threads.
- Thanks Ron , for confirmation for the pictures

- RPC , in French , is same PRC in English ; République Populaire de Chine !

- I have not found how insert smileys in the message ! Where they hide ?
Choose the "Full edit" or "New Reply" instead of the "Quick reply" window. The smiles will be on you right.
Dear friends

Before asking you a question , I would like to send you my best wishes from France for this new year ! Icon_biggrin 

My question is following

I was still remaining searching for the missing knobs for my console 23X I am restoring and could perhaps I have found ones

Do you think the following knobs are really the genuine original ones , or at least Philco ones suitable for the radio of my console ?

Thanks a lot for your kind reply   Icon_e_wink
