Hello Joseph,
Wow very nice work what program are you using to draw this in ?
That is too funny " added the date to this PCB. I had forgotten to add that to the PCB for C104 A/B, but I will do that now. It will help me remember 15 years from now that it's time to recap this radio!"

I restored my Philco 610b like in 2004 or 5 and just this last year I replaced the Sprague Atom Capacitors with Film type since one of them was going bad .

Sincerely Richard
