Philco 20 Cabinet Reproduction
#28

I'd be interested in buying one.  But I'd have to find two small knobs and the dial escutcheon for the rejuvenated parts carcass I just acquired.  It had a warped chassis and two bad tubes in it, but the instant I replaced the two bad ones, the radio fired right up.  I just need a cabinet and speaker.  I didn't expect it to be that easy to repair, frankly.  (The dial was warped but a heat gun fixed that in about twenty seconds.)  I bought it as a parts backup for my recently restored Grandad's radio (my first Philco restoration) and I picked this up because the price was right.  (Less than I paid for that frikkin' filter choke transformer.)  Making it whole piecemeal wasn't my original game plan...this hobby is habit forming...
