Philco 201X
#1

Hey everyone, Got this radio about 3 years ago along with 3 others and a Tube tester. A friend who knew I liked to restore them was  looking at a Tractor at his neighbors barn when he noticed the radios. He texted me I had him send photos and this was one of them. He was an older gentlemen 90's. that had intended to restore them but never got around to it. I got a steal on all of them really. I paid $35.00 for this one. Icon_biggrin Unfortunately the cabinets were in semi ruff shape, including this one. Icon_problem I'm no expert, but have had good success at restoring 4 other radios. For anyone reading this who is considering there first, I literally learned everything I know by ready countless posts from others on this site and a few others. so you could do it to. I've been saving this one, working up the nerve to dive into it. I know it's more complicated, do to it's high fidelity circuitry so will certainly need some advice. I've read the other posts about this radio on this site and researched it on the web. Here are some photos as a start
