This appeared on my porch this morning for $30.
Appears to be completely original and intact down to the Philco tubes and the original grill cloth. The 7Y4 rectifier is missing and the power cord is trashed.
Case is in excellent shape. Advice on proper cleaning/polishing procedure would be appreciated.
I’ve just been using the standard yellow tubular caps I get from justradios - not sure there’s any advantage to upgrading to more expensive caps

Should be fun restoration after I get this SX-62 finished. That’s about done I think as soon as some parts get here.
