Hello all! I'm new to this forum and am beginning a restoration on my 1930 Philco Model 20 Baby Grand Consolette. Does anyone have any particular advice on this model? Its the first TRF set I've worked on and definitely the oldest. I removed the multi-section cap today and will begin the fun task of emptying it tomorrow. The speaker is in fabulous cosmetic condition but sadly appears to be locked up as the cone has no travel at all. The cabinet has a few cosmetic flaws but nothing serious. One leg was split but has been glued up and, once set, will be good as new. This is my first Philco but hopefully not my last. Seems to very well built and relatively easy to work on. I've done several AA5's and a big Zenith console but this set looks like a real gem! Again.. Hello all! and I'm happy to be here.
