Philco Transitone PT-95
#3

Yes, to find a Tenite bezel in this condition is like winning a lottery....a small scratch 1,000 dollars one, but nonetheless.

Word of caution: do not try to powerup before full recap.
Also some of the radios of this era used asbestos between the chassis and the wooden shelf it rests upon, so though not to be freaked out, it requires respect.
And, the chassis of AA5 type do not have transformer and thus the circuitry is directly referenced to Mains voltage, creating electrocution hazard.
If intending to work on it, acquire an isolation transformer.

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.
