Silverstone 4763
#8

I saved a crock pot that my wife did not want any more from the trash. I used it to heat the Philco 20 filter block . It worked well and you can control the heat better than using a heat gun.
I have redone a couple of the 4763 but just put the filter caps under the chassis . I sold them at NEARC swap meets. One went for $125 and two weeks later appx Eric in NY , the one that holds most radios up in the air "sold " it for $425.
Does anyone know why many of the Silvertone chassis from that era turn dark and the labels look burned? Is it just a reaction with a cadmium plating?
Thanks,
Henry
