Philco 39-80B
#1

Hello:

Thanks for letting me join the Philco Group.

While I have been into Amateur Radio since 1957 and restored a number of vacuum tube ham gear, this is my first effort at a Philco. It will be used as a non working, static display at our small local museum.

My project is a Model 39-80 found in reasonably good condition. Needs a bit of attention to the veneer trim, grill cloth is pretty much gone and the glass or plastic is missing from the dial bezel.

The photo is the first cleanup of the cabinet with Gojo, not for sure where to go next ?

Always open to suggestions from anyone having experience with the 39-80, happy to hear from you.

Best wishes,

Charles
