Philco Model 212, want advice on value and restoration potential
#2

Hi

First of all, where are you located? "United States" is way too vague. Please change your profile to include (just) a city and state, it will make it easier to help you find a buyer for your set. Thanks.

Man, it's a real shame that the cloth front is worn off around the tuning, volume, and off-on controls. Plus, three of the four knobs are not original, and the one knob that is original (on the off-on switch) should be on either the volume or the tone control.

Is the turntable (platter) missing from the Capehart changer? I did not look at all of the photos, but the ones I did look at, I did not see the platter.

That would be a great addition to someone's collection, assuming the missing parts for the Capehart changer can be found.

Well...pull out every single load of the transformer. For every winding. Unsolder if needed. Then re-do your dim bulb....morzh — 07:02 PM
