Philco 118 Chassis Restoration
#1
Photo 

A few weeks ago, one of our friends over at ARF let me have a Philco 118 chassis, complete with tubes for the price of shipping.
The chassis is filthy, with a thick layer of tobacco tar and other environmental contaminants. I will begin with a good cleaning.
