Nice 84B
#1

I have this 84B that needed a fair amount of cabinet work and have gotten most of veneer repairs done. Still need to remove the dial and strip. Was looking on line a good pic of one to get an idea of the toner scheme for the from panel. On mine it hard to tell where some of the toner stops and starts.
I found this pic. https://artcontrarian.blogspot.com/search?q=Philco+ Scroll down about 25%. Very nice and original looking except for the replacement dial. Even has the original pointer. If you like art there lots of beautiful pictures. Under nostalgia there is a multitude streamline pictures and ads from the '30s

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
