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

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
- 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"
https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Струбцина
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.

Correct - one must be a Phorum member to see most pictures in Phorum threads.

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 !
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
