Philco 45C restoration
#1

This is the one I recently bought on eBay; the one without tone control shaft.

I was afraid someone did a lot of work on it, but no: even though there is glue on the speaker cone, and a new cord, and the cloth doesn't seem to be authentic (or even right pattern) - inside the chassis it is mostly untouched aside from the electrolytics: they were change at least twice, first when they replaced the cans for non-Philco ones, and now these are cut off and the tubular capacitors were installed.
All tubular Philco paper caps and the backelite block(s?) are intact.

Here are some pictures.

The cabinet


   
   

The back view.

   

The screws holding the chassis are not original: these are wood screws.
   

Not sure if this is how it should be.
   

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.
