The Philco pickings have been really slim in my neck of the woods but I finally came across something today that will be a worthy project. I look forward to the day I can start on it. This is the Canadian version of the model 650., see below.

Nice clean specimen!
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

Nice set and it looks like it has one of the easier shadow meters to rewind too!

I was down in the basement in my dad's

figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!

Thanks for all the comments. Steve, I don't refinish unless there is no saving the original. The top and base will need some work for sure but I think I can cleanup the rest.
