Philco 16B restoration
#57

Today the speaker came from Rich Stamer.
I am yet to find out how it sounds but as for the looks, from the cone side it looks like it was bought yesterday.
Came packed like it should be.
Great job.

Connected it, just now. If I have an extra 78 tube, I might fire it up tomorrow, if not, will order it and then do it.
Dee called with my shadograph; there is some light problem with the vane, he said it gets stuck when going all the way to the corner, promised to fix it.

Reassembled the tuning cap gear. The first wheel I was able to take the tire of, though with some elbow grease; the second, the larger one, proved very entransigent, and I soaked it in mineral spirit and forgot about it for two weeks. Today remembered; the remnants of the tire came off easily, and I cleaned the knurled part with a stiff steel brush. Put the O-rings on, seems to work. Will have to wait 'till the shadograph comes it to complete the assembly.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
