Restoration of UK Philco 282 Empire Five
#2

I won this 1936 UK-built Philco set on eBay UK, and had it shipped over here to the USA.

It did not have its original power transformer. Instead, it had a replacement which was barely held on with tiny screws, and (naturally) came off in shipment. Fortunately, no damage was done save for one of the aluminum electrolytic capacitors taking a few direct hits from it.

In this photo, you can see that the transformer has been removed.
