Philco 70 restoration attempt - singing now.
#25

Hit a little snag - the 5-pin tube panel that came in today, though is right for the tube (47) but wil not install unless I drill two extra holes and I am not crazy about drillin anything at all.

The screw / rivet holes are perfectly symmetrical in this one and Philco's are off-center.
I'd rather have a Philco one.


I placed an ad in WTB and a separate threacd here in case someone has a spare.

BTW wanted to ask - when installing these, short of screwing it are there rivets that could be used? Regular rivets will break the panel if attempted - the material is brittle. Screws look wrong though i will use them at least temporarily if have to.
