Philco 70 Cabinet
#15

I would have felt bad about putting a 90 in a 70 cabinet anyway, maybe just until I found a good 70 chassis. I've got this super nice 90 just waiting for a cabinet. I just keep finding 70s though. I do have the Mershon caps all rebuilt - just could not wait. The new (er) 70 chassis is supposed to be here next Monday.

We have another public display scheduled for Jan. around the 7th in one of the Jackson Co Libraries. I would like to have this one done before then. I would also like to display the 111 or the 37-116 that I have shown you guys, but both of them are so heavy and I would feel awful about damaging either. Up to this point we (wife & I) have just displayed table tops and a 37 Zenith 6-S-52. It looks nice, but more important it is a lightweight compared to the Philcos.

   

   

What I am surely going to do is display my "spare" rebuilt 37-116 chassis, Philco tubes and all. People seem to like to see the "guts".

Anyway, thanks for all the compliments guys. Oh, and Ron, could you bring that new truck over here to move some radios?
