Hey there guys and gals. I recently aquired a philco 1775 and completely new to the whole restoration thing! I've done alittle searching and haven't been able to find much information on this particular model. Here's what I know or atleast was told by the former owner. It's a Canadian made model, has hi-fi and a turn table. It was said to be made 1960.
Curently there is no sound other then pops & crackles from the speakers on both FM & AM. I have yet to try a record so I cannot say how the sound is from there. Within the next few weeks I hope to open it up and start taking a look around the inside(currently garage is too cold from the winter).Once I do this I hope to get some of the over 50 years of grime out.
Any tips or suggestions would greatly be apprechiated as I can't wait to get started in this new hobby!
