My 1st Philco Restoration - 46-350
#1

Hi everyone. I'm a 43 year old programmer in the Bay area and
recently acquired a Philco 46-350 from my folks while visiting
with my wife over Turkey Day.
This radio has been in my family since my Father brought this home to my
Mom sometime in the late 60's.
I remember this radio from my young childhood (tinkered with the tubes).
I have found a great amount of literature on this radio seeming how it
was very popular (think Sony Walkman) and low-cost back then.

I have a large electronics background (military and commercial) but
do not seem to use it much now-a-days. Here is a great
reason to get back into the saddle!
I will post updates occasionally and share although I'm sure
this project pales in comparison to some of the ones I've seen here ;)

Thanks for this great community resource!
