MrFixr55,

Thanks for the reply. Yes, one needs a "dual D" shaped hole for the modern strain reliefs. On another Philco, I was successful in drilling out the existing molded strain relief, but on this radio, it is too dry and crumbly.

morzh,

Thanks for your procedure. I didn't know that hot melt glue was available in brown. I don't plan on re-stuffing the caps on this radio because it is only in average used condition. It is being done for a friend who has had it in the family since it was new, but was not stored well after it was no longer used daily (no back and pretty grimy).
