Hey all,
 I have just finished a Philco 46-1201 (Bing Crosby). I started it a long time ago and FINALLY got it finished and off my bench. 
I love these as they are easy to restore 99% of the time. You just pop in a new cart and lube the player. The chassis is a little packed but there are only 12 or so caps. Easy yet it took me a year to do.. Ugh....
