Had some time today so thought I would give this working radio a quick facelift. It just happens to be a Philco '68 Mustang/Cougar factory AM radio just like the one I used in my previous restoration chronicles. I didn't have a correct set of knobs but these Ford ones are as close as one can get to originals. I would have spent a little more time on the casing but didn't want the steaks to burn! Happy 4th to all!
Here are the before pictures (and no I didn't restore the plastic dial lens, it's in the recycling bin).

IF can wire size and Rubber mounts?
Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
