philco 48-482
#6

i bought it on ebay for 20$. i do these and others as a hobby. the set came here at no cost to me. a cursory inspection shows it to be unmolested. i did say cursory. the speaker is ok. the upper is just fine. the money spent is insignificant to rebuild these as opposed to restoring english motorcycles,now THATS pricey. but does anyone have one they can flip over and give me an idea about the amount of "reveal" the upper case has to the bottom? i can get parts that are similar in function for for a 84b but not this so i had them made for a whopping 200 pesos or 4 bucks and change. and yes i do like the challenge of rebuilding the abused and mistreated things i come across. it reminds me of the numerous, thankless magician tricks i pulled off while serving in the us navy as a GSE mechanic and electrician!
