        Have a Philco Model 80 Mantel Clock Radio , which I believe is all Original.
The Clock, Speaker , all Philco Paper Labeled Filter Can, Labeled Globe tubes, Original Chassis parts Caps etc.

Filthy Dirty. Grill Cloth rotted.

Only draw back the Top Trim Piece is gone. Good news I have Pattern to make it.
Cabinet has had Brushed on finish at some time.

Now to figure how to restore this one.

NOTICED DIFFERENT CHASSIS

This chassis has additional tube shield for the other 36 tube.
I cannot find any other 80 chassis on Google search showing this.
This chassis is untouched as found
The Serial Number is E89171
Maybe Ron will know if this is early run or later Run
