The PHILCO Phorum

Yeah right,
I haven't even started on the cabinets yet. MAybe, Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe by K-town.

That fat cabinet needs a lot of veneer so it may take a while.

You can come anyway though. Nice long drive, sore arses, Mike talking for 3 hours in traffic and driving really slow, then we can chat while Mikes eats chinese, and drink some awful beer but this time we have chairs!! and not the plastic ones either,

...and a working crapper too!

The very thought of road trips right now hurts my mind - the roads are bad, my wife just got into a fender-bender an hour ago.......no. Not now.

Sorry about that Mike,
Hope she is okay, first she drops the radio and now the car? Keep away from the good crystal for a while

Kirk

P.S. I want a few pics of the completed chassis.

That's OK, Kutztown is another 2-plus months away.....not even sure how you do the lacquer thing with the temps this...high. Then there's gonna be that April with all its pollen. mark my words, these cabinets are going to be ready for Kutztown....the one in September

Well,

  Here she is!

All restored and working beautifully thanks to Mike.

Kirk

good job guys!!

Great job to both you and Mike for saving a pretty rare radio

where's  the cabinet  
Mike did all that hard work and you didn't even
Do cabinet yet did you   
Shame shame shame 

Yeah, I feel shortchanged! Why, no cabinet! After all that effort!

Did you at least put a new power cord in?

Oh, did I mention this chassis lacks the tuning mechanism? What are you gonna do about it?
A pulley plus cord?

This is the electrical forum, no cabinet for you!!!

Ok fine here,

Just for reference, I screwed up the re-coning of the speaker

If you put the volume up it goes crazy!

Need a professional for that I guess

Kirk

Probably off-center...shims will help next time.


How did you tackle the tuning gear?


PS. Do you realize you are probably the only owner of a working 45 in the whole wide world?

kirk , mike
looks great guys 
all the bickering and you both pulled it off
now time to sell it
sam

I ran a cord and had the original pieces so it worked out well

Thanks Sam but it wont get sold for a while if ever. It has too much of my time to be worth the selling price.
Plus I like owning it
