Well I pulled the chassis out of the one I just got, and boy was I surprised. ALL original from the power cord to the tubes. I don't think the radio ever went to the repair shop. Replaced C103/305 for a motorboating problem in FM all the screen grid bypass condensers and dropping resistors in the IF sections and C515 (a leaky silver mica) for an intermittent FM operation issue. Did an alignment and she runs like a...a.....a...like a PHILCO!
