Model 70 - slford310 - 03-26-2024
Found in the wild today. Three generations in the same house for over 100 years. This was put up in the attic decades ago. Philco model 70
Tried something for the first time. Heard about using GOJO hand cleaner then Howard’s but never have tried it. One of the guys on a restoration page thought this would be a good candidate so I gave it a go. Not finished yet but wow does it work. See new pictures below

Not bad, it looks like it may have been taken out of service in the 1940s, or early 1950s judging by the replacement filter can, and the National Union ST style #47 tube with the NU logo. Was it stored in a basement or a garage?

Attic from what I was told. Not sure if it was the attic in the house or garage. Its cleaning up real nice. Will post new pictures once I get the cabinet finished.
