Philco 39-30 restoration
#26

I've had the radio playing for a while and it's starting to act up. Stations fade and static increases after it's been playing 5+ minutes. I'll go through and recheck voltages etc. Maybe one of the old micas caps is acting up ?

Meanwhile, I'm making progress on the cabinet. I filled in all the cracks and chips with lacquer sanding sealer until it was nice and smooth.
One decal has been applied with four more to go.

I also picked up some K2r and gave it a try. It's cleaner, not like new, but cleaner for sure.
