Hello everyone! This is my first post, but I know I came to the right place.
I bought a 625B from a thrift store for $50. It was complete but the enclosure was in very bad shape, the chassis was in good condition though. However, with that said, when I began the recapping, I saw a number of wire/solder furrballs connecting various replacement caps together. Also I have both Philco and Riders schematics, but it appears the original radio wiring in some areas does not match either of the schematics (the Riders and Sams schematics are identical). My question is: Does anyone have a recapped 625B they would be willing to take some pix of the chassis underside and share them with me? So I can verify that I'm not going to let the essential smoke out of anything.
Thanks in advance!
