Ron,
Thanks. I'm thinking that since I wouldn't be the one restoring the chassis, that might turn into a money pit. What years did Philco use the rubber coated wiring? I think earlier radios might be better to pursue. This one is undoubtedly a high end model for that year, but I seem to like the earlier more Deco style radios. I have a real nice original late tombstone 16B that has had the chassis gone thru and a '36 650MX that's restored that are some of my favorites and I've had them for about 20 years. The fact that I don't do my own electronics is a killer!
