Model 90 bezel

Moved to Philco Home Radios since the current discussion has nothing to do with cabinet restoration.

Understood. Where I live, there is only one AM station close by (10 or so miles), the rest are at a distance of 40, 50 miles or more. It doesn't help that I live in a low-lying area, so radio signals are difficult to pick up here. Therefore, the "blasting" effect isn't so bad for me - only the lack of good signals due to the terrain, and the horrendous noise across the AM band here also.

The only AM listening I do anymore is to my home Part 15 transmitter. The rest is unlistenable due to the noise and weak signals. (The station 10 miles away runs an all-Spanish language format which, not knowing the language, I have no interest in.)

I do the majority of my AM listening with my RCA C15-3. The oldies sound great on it, even though it is not a "High Fidelity" set. Icon_thumbup

Ron -

Thank you very much for posting that. It has saved me from driving a number of miles to a friend's house (I was just there yesterday to pick up some parts which he got for me at Kutztown) or asking him to scan them.

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