Philco 15DX restoration tips?

Great job also on the top of that 15DX!

Bob, don't be intimidated by that 15 chassis. Believe me, that 15 is nothing compared to your 41-316. Icon_crazy

Yeah, watching all your hard work on your 41-616 has pushed my 41-316 back in the restoration queue. I'll pull the 15 chassis out soon and do a little reconnoitering. As I recall, it's pristine.

And you found a 37-690! Well done!!!

The model 15 is the last radio Philco made utilizing the "old" chassis. It is not complicated and fairly well laid out. However, it is a shallow chassis, and does not accept "modifications" well. SO... re-stuffing is probably the best way to restore this set.

You have some swell radios to restore!

Color me Icon_mrgreen green..... with envy !!

Thanks. I had an amazing run of luck over the last few weeks. First I scored a Philco 41-316, then a Tandem Predicta TV, then, very unexpectedly, a 37-690!

I've been sitting on the 690 for a few weeks, but I think it's time to let the cat out of the bag.
