Philco jr. Model 80 - taking apart
#1

Hi again, everyone.

I put that in the repair section, but then thought it might be more for this forum to ask.

This week I picked up a Philco Jr 80.

It has a cabinet in a decent enough shape, though eventually will need to be re-finished, but structurally it is fine.
Missing the 42 tube (I figured, since both the 36s and the 80 are in place).
The chassis is very dusty, but no rust detected.

So, any good advice as to how to start?
First things first - I intend to remove the chassis, and the speaker seems to not be connectorized.
My foremost goal - not to ruin the grill cloth, that is in a good enough shape, and not to damage the decorative screws, that hold the speaker panel.
Maybe, I should only remove the speaker and not to touch the whole panel it is bolted to.

Bottom line - any good advice as to how to start, and not to damage anything - the radio was obviously built on the cheap and was not intended to ever be repaired Icon_smile, or to easily lend itself to a repair.

Regards,

Mike.
