1936 Philco 116PX Electronic Restoration
#30

Well, despite the fact it's been a month since I last posted Icon_eek , I have been chipping away at the restoration of the chassis, and spiffing up the cabinet a bit, in hopes I could have at least the radio running and presentable for my annual Radio Show party, coming up on the 21st. Icon_biggrin

I left off at the rebuilding of the electrolytics. I got the single and double cap cans done. That left the 4-part can to rebuild. Since all the negs were common, this is what I put together in order to get it inside the original gutted can:

And after attaching the wiring:

It all fit nicely inside the can. Icon_thumbup
