1950 Philco Tropic 3010
#3

Arran

I immediately contacted the seller, who gave me half my money back, no questions asked. I didn't pay a lot for it and intended to try and find another cabinet and restore it once it arrived damaged, so I thought that was fair.

Oddly enough, the chassis on this 3010 is rubber-stamped on the back "Made in Canada"! So I guess it was OK to make a hot chassis there as long as it was being exported to Central and/or South America?

I once owned one of those made in Canada "Tropic" models that looked like a 49-905 or 50-925 but had SW instead of FM. Another set I should have kept...

Thanks for the tips on drilling Bakelite. Good idea, I'll practice on the broken one first.
