My Philco 60L returned home tonight. I had it given to me a while back and gave it to a friend for a while. Well, he decided to give it back to me and he started work on it before I got the whammy electric bill and work cut me to two days this week. Anyways, I mostly traded for the repairs which included recapping the unit, replacing the grill cloth with a presentable one off a 50's console that was junked out, finding a usable speaker, rewinding two of the coils, and replacing the knobs and the number 75 tube which decided to die right after the radio was repaired. Also the missing escutcheon was found jammed in front of the chassis.
