Good luck Ron, I am working on a Philco 96 Highboy right now that has seen some abuse (see link) but it seems to be going ok. I am now going through and glue all the joints and loose veneer so that I can strip it. After stripping I will be able to tell what kind of mess I am in for. The chassis is another matter, in good shape, only missing the 45's which I have replacements for. This is an BC only radio that only goes up to 1500kc, but it is the oldest one that I have and my wife likes the looks of the cabinet, so do I. Good luck and post some after pics.

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
