Philco Predicta Tandem--correct way to repair on switch?
#5

I'll take that kind of "gluttony" any day!
It's great to see all of those pictures. I don't know how to add pictures to this post--and I don't know if I can add a link to photos of my Tandem (before I cleaned off all the dust) but let's see if this works
https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=82c6ccf32...ujvZsn2L_g

I give up on finding an antennae, there's only so much time I'm willing to put into this thing. I love it but I've had it for 30 years and it's time for it to go. If the guy who's working on it can't fix it, I'll sell it anyway (the CRT works) and someone else can deal with the bottom half. I have so many old radios and old other things around the house (including my husband! Icon_smile) that I won't miss it.

Would you be so kind as to share any tips on how to best clean the cable, the scuff marks the cable leaves on the back of the tube, and the screen?
