Finally Completed! - Eric Adams - 11-10-2014

The electronics were not too bad (except that super stuck band switch). Even the Bakelite blocks went fairly easy. The cabinet was more of a challenge. I ended up replacing the veneer on both sides and the top. The grill cloth is new also. I think it came out pretty good. By the way, It sounds great and picks up a lot of short wave, too

Thanks, Morzh! At least I learned how to free up a frozen band switch.

Great job you did there Eric  
I recently got a 66B myself and I must say the cabinet style is quite the looker in my opinion.

Eric,

Beautiful job!!!

What did you have to do to the band switch to get it moving? I've not had a frozen one yet, but I hear it happens, so it would help to have an idea how to deal with it.

Really good job. Where did you get the large pieces of veneer?

PAradiogeek: If you read this thread: http://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthread.php?tid=10110&page=2  It will give you an idea of how to free up the band switch.

Mike: I got the veneer here: Rockler I used the pressure sensitive type. It is really easy to work with.

Everyone else: Thanks for your comments. It  means a lot when I hear it from my friends on the Phorum
