46-420 Hippo Line Cord Replacement
#8

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).

Regards,   PeterN
