Here's another long neglected project that I'm finally finishing

It's a slant Philco 39-30 table top. It covers the BC and 5.0 - 18 MHz bands and features 8 presets.
The original finish is in pretty good condition but the decals around the controls are pretty bad. I picked up a set of repros and will attempt to carefully sand them off and apply the new ones. Then clear coat the whole set with some lacquer.

The three electrolytics and one power resistor were replaced ages ago, but the rest looks original.

I also picked up a set or repro push buttons and plastic dial face.

The yellow caps are from when I started recapping this set a few years ago.

First, I'm tackling the brittle power transformer insulation.

I spliced in new wires that match the colors indicated on the schematic. Then, I sealed it with some hi grade wax.
