Hello everyone, my first time posting here. I was hoping I could get some feedback and opinions on my latest project, a Philco 39-30. You can read about it here: http://www.radiorestorer.com/philco39-30.html

Thanks for looking!

Hi Jeremy, and welcome!

Nice job on the 39-30, dude. I hope mine looks as well when it's done.

Looks good!

Those are nice radios. Did one a few years ago for a friend, I was surprised at how good it worked and sounded. Funny how the pushbuttons turn to dust.

Take care.

Good work! I have one of these somewhere (shoved way back in my workroom no doubt). Did you encounter a lot of problems with the infamous 1939 wiring?

Wow nice job, you get a "Gold Star" for that one. Looks extremely well done and very original looking.
