Philco 15DX restoration tips?
#13

Thanks! Over the past couple years I managed to assemble a full set of Philco brand globe tubes Icon_smile Even some globe 42s.

Here's a pic with the tubes and the back installed.

I also got a set of Wheeler brand speakers and some grille cloth before the supply dried up. The pattern is running the wrong way though. Oh well, it's better than nothing for sure!

I'll try to restore the original speakers, but it's nice to have a backup set if needed.

Here are some shots of cabinet damage. I'm going to try to touch it up rather than refinish.
