Radiola 60 performance.
#4

Hmm, I will need to find a print and see if everything on my 62 is set up correctly. One issue seems to be in the volume control. Sometimes I really have to fiddle with it to get the radio to come up and stay stable. I cleaned it and noticed what looks like a couple broken strands on the low volume end of the reostat. Not surprising to me in some ways because every 60 series I have seen either has repairs or needs the volume control repaired. I think the one on my Philco 87 is actually a bit heavier built than the Radiola design. Either way, I will probably keep this radio now. Need to reglue a leg that is wobbling and I finally got the hoop put back on the speaker. Though not sure what that actually supports.

No matter where you go, there you are.
