Philco 47-1230 Resto Advice Needed
#5

Welcome to the Phorum! Good advice from those above; there are often many posts on this Phorum and others that are specific to your model. In addition, if you are new to restoration, take the time to read up on general things to do. A good start is here: http://www.antiqueradio.org/begin.htm . There are two main categories to radio restoration, a) cabinet restoration and b) electronic restoration. They require different skills and people often prefer one aspect over the other. There are a number of youtube videos on various restorations that can be helpful in showing you how to do things. Bob Andersen has a number of them under the name of bandersentv that are helpful. Early on, I watched his 14 part series on the Model 60 to get a good feel for what skills are needed.
