i just got a Philco chairside
#7

The dial looks to be in good condition. If the foil is not badly torn I would leave it alone. With that being said if you can put a thin piece plastic between the pointer and the foil that would be good. Radiodazes sells a replacement but it not as nice as the original. I have the console version 38-17F https://philcoradio.com/gallery2/1938c/#Model_38-17F  and back about 40 yrs ago I had that same chairside but bcb only and push button tuning. It was 39- something. Good player as is 38-15 and good sw coverage too.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
