My Philco 91X, no longer ignored.
#1

I was bored this afternoon and finally decided to dig my 91X back out and at least play it a little. This radio was already recapped when I got it, but the bottom (woofer) speaker was a bit crippled from an old accident and major repairs to the cone. Basically, the old glue had caused the cone to warp over the years and it would buzz. The tweeter has some repairs too, but is in much better shape. Well, after playing it good and loud for about a half hour, the speakers seemed to come around and I ultimately enjoyed listening to the radio for two hours solid. The tone is rather good for this era of radio, especially with the tone set all the way counter-clockwise into the first position. So, it now is out and set up to be played more often instead of burried behind other radios. Icon_smile

   

No matter where you go, there you are.
