I just finished putting back together all the radios I refinished and Mike restored my electronics for.

I now am the proud owner of fully working and restored radios!

There is my Mystery Halson (Mike), My Philco 84 (Mike), My 2 Philco PT-69's (Mike), my Silvertone 6050, and My 2 Philco 41-22CL's that just needed recaps and wiring.

I just gave Mike my Century (unknown model), my Halson 15 ( stuck it in his car while he wasn't looking) Icon_twisted And something else???

He refused to take the Silvertone 45 chassis, Icon_lol

Now all I need is my house back so I can display them.

A friend of mine had a similar problem with too many radios in the basement. His wife ended sealing the radios behind a new basement wall when he was away on business.

Funny thing- for years he claimed that in the middle of the night you could hear the "Jack Benny" show coming from behind the basement wall..... Icon_eh
