Okay, let's get back on track.

After a couple of days, here is how it looks now.

[Image: http://www.philcoradio.com/images/phorum...5T_015.jpg]

New wires and new resistors. The two dial lamp sockets have also been rebuilt.

Tomorrow, I will melt the old innards from the remaining paper caps, restuff and reinstall.

I will be needing one or two electrolytic capacitors for this radio. I do not have any stud mount caps with the proper insulators needed to replace electrolytic (42). I will post in the Wanted section.

Oh, and here's a link to the schematic if anyone wants to follow along (672 kb):
