Philco 604C Electronic Restoration
#2

I forgot to mention: In case you are wondering the differences between the 604C and the later 37-604C, they are as follows:

* The 604 uses standard base tubes. The 37-604 uses octals.
* The 604 only has a three-screw terminal strip providing connections to a longwire antenna as well as two screws for Philco's High Efficiency Aerial. The 37-604 has five screw terminals - two (RED and BLK) forPhilco's High Efficiency Aerial, one for ground (!), and two more used as "shorting" terminals. See the 37-604 schematic for more info.

Well, a few days ago, I pulled the chassis out of the cabinet and dived in.

Removing the screws holding the bottom chassis cover in place...

A look underneath. As you can see, someone else was in here before me. I will try to make this look neater than it does now.

A closer look at the antenna screw terminals. As you can see, the terminal board is broken.

Now let's take a close look at the dial scale...

Broken in two places, and part of the numbering is worn off. Fortunately, Radio Daze sells a 37-604 replica dial scale. I guess I will have to purchase one. Icon_sad
