Thanks for the tips guys!
I'll keep an eye out for the phenolic board. Assuming it's turret board and not early PCB. I still have nightmares about peeling traces on a late 40s Motorola "PlaCir" board. ?
Thanks for the compliments on the 37-61F MrFixr. It was a labor of love and was a great learning experience. I sourced grill cloth and the radio dial for it from RadioDaze. I'm hoping they'll have the same for this one.
Re: bakelite blocks, I re-stuffed the ones in the 37 and found it strangely satisfying. I used a heat shrink wrap heat gun but I'll try the screw method on one and see how it goes.
The only thing I haven't attempted is a speaker re-cone but I think I'd like to give it a shot. Any tips would be welcome.
I've got a '46 RCA Victor Globe Trotter on the bench right now but I can't wait to get started on the Philco. I think the RCA is getting a little jealous.
