[Oldie Goldie]

I'm having a fun-tastic time uploading photos of what I'm seeing. Stand by.

The center knob, when I turned it it felt all gummy than as I was turning it popped out, the knob attached to the shaft.
It is a steel shaft with a polished ball at the end, before that is a narrowed section. When I try to push it back in I meet a springing resistance. So I am just letting it rest before I break something expensive.

I think the seller only partially recapped it. Some of them look OLD and I think he just talked new caps in parallel with the Philco block caps.

I got a spicy feeling today when I touched the chassis with it turned off. Something is breaking down.

I earthed the chassis just now and rubbed some liquid gold on the case. It looks much nicer.

I gather the mystery terminals at the back are for a proprietary Philco phonograph. I hooked a Bluetooth speaker with its speaker leads extended our of its case (I use it for fun and testing) and put music on thst terminal.
Static come out of the radio as long as audio is going in. Pause the music on my phone, I get silence on the radio. Unpause I get static.
