Is Anyone going to be restoring a model 70 soon?
#14

I'm new to the list and have started a resto on a Philco 370 chairside. For those who are unfamiliar it is a 70 chaiss in a chairside cabinet. The front of the chaiss uses a couple of brackets and a 90 deg coupler to bring the concentric tuning and volume control up thru the top of the cabinet. Have done most of the electronics. Recapped and repaired an open ant coil. All works well. Was very interested to read about adding avc to this early model set.Seems like a worthwhile indever The cabinet needs a lot of work. Unfortunately it spent some time in a shed and the top is a bit warped and has a burn. It's in traction now being clamped to several pieces of angle iron. Also moron decided to drill two hole in the side, one for a tone control and the other for an off/on switch. (original is part of the dual gang volume made of unubtanium) Badly needs to be refinished. Some pic's are here:

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
