Wow, what a title! hehe

I currently have many projects to conclude but I wanted to take a peak on my little Philco 60B. I love it, and it's a perfect project for a novice like me as it's kind of a basket case, but a very simple radio I could go through completely.

I was looking under the chassis and as it has been serviced a few times, I'm really wondering how it should look when restored properly? Does anybody have a clear bright picture of under the hood I could compare with? I don't need it to live, I'm just very curious and it could give me some inspiration.

I hope to jump in the restoration during spring. Obviously, it needs a good recap, changing OOT resistors, maybe fix the often seen coil issue, new dial scale, good cleaning and de-rusting, paint job? and new lytic caps on the chassis for the looks. And that's only for the chassis... the cabinet is in pretty sad shape too Icon_rolleyes

Anyway, thanks in advance and have a nice eve!
