Philco 620

Neo,

With these radios there is no "repair". Even if you sub the backelites with yellow capacitors without restuffing them, it is still a restoration, just not as elaborate.
Repair is done to a modern equipment.
An 80 year old radio is restored.
The degree of suffering is up to you, myself I restuff the caps and try to keep as many resistors as possible, but won't give another thought to puting a modern resistor inside. They just don't look as bad as yellow caps.
Then again, Steve makes faithful copies of original dogbones.
Some folks even overmold the modern resistors making it even more time consuming.

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.
