Hello everyone,

Got the Philco 60 up and running, loud and clear, and now just need to take care of a few details. Do have one issue and it is still the tuning capacitor grommets. Advised to order GSm-tuner grommets from renovatedradios.com, but these will leave about a quarter inch or more of slack, because they are too thin for the screw sleeves. Probably should have taken the advice to get a bagful of assorted grommets from Harbor Freight or Lowe's. The originals were so mashed out of shape I couldn't measure them. I now realize I should have measured the sleeves. I think that's called delayed intelligence.

Do you Philco 60 guys have any thoughts about the GSm-Tuner grommets?
