Doug Houston Wrote:Now, on that 650. The cabinet looks to be in nice enough shape to just do some touch-up on it. I've re-capped a couple of mine, and they will whip the slats off of quite a few decent radios. Get that 650 back up to full performance, and you'll see what a good radio is, and how well it can work.

Touch up? How would you suggest doing this? You did notice the finish is gone below the speaker, looks almost dry rotted. Also a small strip of veneer is missing from the top. I would do a touch up if I knew how.
Any help greatly appreciated.

As far as performance goes all all I can see a 650 has over a 620/630 on paper anyway is push pull outputs. I would have added an other stage of IF before going push pull myself. It seems Philco added push pull to their mid range sets but only added a second IF on the top models.

It's not what you don't know that hurts you it's what you know that's not so.
