Actually, I have one of these Philco/Silvers in the pipeline with Kenny Richmond converting a single speaker 15DX cabinet similar to the one seen above, by giving it a flat-top haircut. (this is the photo that I too liked and gave me the idea)

McMurdo cabinets are SO rare to find and personally I really like the looks and high quality of the early Philco consoles.

I do plan to mount a 15" speaker over the original speaker opening and I doubt to my ears I will hear much detraction on the sound volume or quality.
At least that is my plan.

Stay tuned and don't touch that dial !!

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
