I sold my 37-620 Philco when we moved (I'm sorry now) and now I have purchased a 42-380. The cabinet looks nice, but the electronics will need work. I'm replacing a couple tubes and doing some general cleaning, but I have a couple general questions:
1. The knobs seem to be correct but they fit very loosely. Is something missing?
2. When I try to use the AM tuner the cord slips on the spindle in some positions and then sometimes it slips off the tuner.
3. Is there a good electronics cleaner to use on the tuning capacitor?
