Philco 48-200 Cabinet Repair
#1

I recently purchased a 48-200 Code 121 for very cheap. But it has many cracks in the Bakelite that I will be repairing. Luckily there are no holes or missing chunks in it. I had to use a large rubber band to hold it all together while I removed the chassis and began to work on gluing it back together. I used a Loctite super glue product ( 5 sec set speed ). So far, all is holding together after 2 days curing time.

The question today is: How do you remove the 6 press-in pins that hold the plastic dial cover in the cabinet ? Does some special tool need to be used ?

After I pull the plastic cover out I can begin sanding and sealing all the cracks in the cabinet and then some day spray paint on it.

This is a very cute little radio and I am anxious to finish it up for display. I will also need to find 2 correct knobs for it and also do the electronic resto to it.

Thanks in advance. G.
