This is a radio a friend of mine restored and I posted on ARF, as it was not a Philco but perhaps some of you might be interested as well. I know Kirk likes disasters to restore. I hope this is ok as it is easier to post one place and provide links.
Enjoy and best, Jerry

nice job but I wouldn't call it a disaster Icon_wink,
Using a guide rail for tracing will cut down on the jig jumping but looks darn good.
Thanks for sharing.
