Philco model 54C
#4

As Doug said, it's a pretty good set. I restored one for somebody a few years ago, and it really wasn't that difficult. I even rebuilt the electrolytic cans, to avoid cramming the underneath of the chassis any further with new electrolytics.

You want a difficult rebuild job? Try a 41-226. A packed chassis, with rubber-covered wiring galore. Ugh.
