Philco 38-7CS
#1

I've finally gotten around to the 38-7CS I picked up a few years ago. You can read about the cabinet restoration over here: http://www.philcoradio.com/phorum/showth...p?tid=3653

This radio had been modified with a record player, headphone jack and some switches. Just as I restored the cabinet to stock, I'm doing the same on the chassis.

First thing I did was remove the modifications then did a quick recap.

That got it playing fairly well Icon_smile However, it wasn't all that loud and the volume control was flaky. Also, the muting switch on the concentric mechanism isn't working.
