Philco model 87
#5

Update on the model 87, good news is after re stringing the dail I did a few checks to see if there were any opens anywhere and couldn't find any so just being daring and plugging it in a power strip for some safety it came to life, first one I've had that still works! The volume control doesn't work well, whats best for that? What's best for cleaning and lubricating these old volume pots? Also I'd like to replace the original cord with an original style cloth covered, are they still available? The only other thing this needs is a re cap and it should be in good shape. So for sure unit doesn't use any electrolytic caps at all?
