Philco 112X electronics restoration.
#24

   

Today I put the chassis bottom cover back, took it tothe cabinet, put it in, put the speaker in, closed the back cover.
What can I say....the sound that came out of that thing (and a good programming by Jersey Shore radio really showcased it) blew me away. Literally. It is one really good sounding radio.
 The 111 in the lowboy cabinet, despite being the same chassis with the same speaker, is not at all the same: it is at best mediocre.  But this...wow.

Well, I am happy, and this completes this radio restoration.
At some point some GoJo and then some furniture polishing goop could be applied to it but for now I am done with it.

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.
