Hello everyone, got started with the restoration of my Philco 38-116. I got the entire top and sides all cleaned up and carefully removed the 4 mangled tube shield bases. I got a replacement dial & multicolored wire ordered from Radio Daze, all rubber parts ordered from Renovated Radios and all capacitors ordered from Just Radios and ordered the rivets, setting tool and missing tubes from our favorite auction site. All coils & transformers check good. To replace the long missing volume shaft I'm going to take 2 shafts from other scrap Philco chassis I have and measure and cut to size and weld together and use it until I can find the correct one.   Ken
