Philco 118 Chassis Restoration
#16

I removed the tuning condenser, the choke and the driver transformer. I unbolted the power transformer but did not disconnect the wiring. This allowed the transformer to be moved enough to clean around and under. I then used lacquer thinner and a small, toothbrush size wire brush to scrub the chassis. It didn't turn out as well as I had hoped but it doesn't seem to get better with more rubbing so it will have to do.
