New member here.

A good friend offered me a model 90 Lowboy that was taking up room in his garage. Price? $0.00 Icon_biggrin

. I jumped on it like a flea on a cat! The cabinet is in good shape but the chassis will need some TLC to get going again and I'll need to source a speaker and some chassis mounting screws, but it sure looks good and is on display.

I did some searching on the net and found what seems to be the greatest place for restoration tips on this old girl, so here I am!

Looking forward to chatting Philco with you!

Dave
