Philco 620
#16

Thanks for the kind words about the chassis.
I think I was very lucky finding this radio practically in my backyard.
So far I am really enjoying myself with this project. 
Here's my next question: Restoration or Repair? 
I think I really need to decide this before going forward.
Do I just get this radio working or do I try to restore it to look and play like it did back in the day?
I'm still just getting my head around these dodgy things called bakelites and where do I find vintage parts? (I tried to find a 30-2079 Electrolytic Cap, no luck.)
Anyone have any thoughts about this to share with a first-timer?
