Philco 45C restoration
#33

Beatiful and very clean. Mine is not so clean. Some grime solidified. I was able to remove most of it with mineral spirits and some elbow grease but some remains.

Yes I still need the cord diagram.

A couple of question about the grommets:
1. Someone clearly removed and replaced them under the tuning cap. But it wobbles quite a bit, I wonder if it is ok or the grommets are just too soft?
2. Is there anything between the speaker and the chassis? I had old hard thick rubber washer underneath and nothing on top. Should the speaker sit metal to metal and only with a rubber washer underneath ? (I fail to see how this is a good idea).

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.
