It has been awhile since I have posted. Haven't really been doing Philcos, but that has changed. I just received a 57C and was blown away by how clean and original the chassis was. I just dusted and this is what I got. It looks like one resistor had been changed aways back and they put their fingers through the speaker. Here are some pics. Tell me what you think. It also works and the cord appears original too!

Note from site admin: Sorry, but the photos which were attached to this post are no longer available.
