Jerry, thanks for all your continued support and help. I'll dig out my Philco parts chassis' after I get everything recapped and cleaned to see how many of the tube shield bases I can salvage and reinstall on this chassis.
Once done, this set will be placed right in the middle of the new radio room so it greets you as soon as you walk in.

Has anyone taken the mechanical tuning mechanism and dial apart for cleaning and lube? That almost intimidates me more than the electronics... Luckily no pot metal in this set so hopefully it's just a matter of finding set screws and the like for disassembly..

Thanks,
Mark
