Santa is awesome!
#3

Hi Scott

Nice Christmas present!

By "metal plates," I am assuming you mean the spring shims that fit inside each knob, that hold the knob onto the control shaft? You can make some makeshift shims from the thin metal of the packages that fuses used to be packaged in. Just cut a double thickness of the thin metal, fold over, cut to fit and insert into the slot in back of the knob.

The PHILCO trademark was a decal, placed at the center top of the phono drawer door; the horizontal part below the radio's four knobs.

Will answer your e-mail separately. Icon_smile

Thanks and Happy New Year!
