I decided to commit to buying the other 46-480. $75 isn’t terrible, considering that they’ll be traveling through Oklahoma on a vacation in a few weeks and I can meet them to get it at a town about an hour and 15 minutes west of Tulsa. Saves me from driving up near Kansas City where it is now.

I reached back out to the guy I saw on the Philco Radio Enthusiasts page, and I think he’s interested in the output transformer from this set. He asked what I’d sell it for, and I said $20. We’ll see if he accepts. I’m not looking to get rich off of these parts. I’d rather know that they are going to be used by someone looking for that last crucial component.

Once I have the console, I’ll create a listing here with all of the parts which are available. Based upon the photos, the chassis looks clean. The cabinet is in serious need of refinishing, but it looks solid.

Is the chassis in the parts set less rusty then the one you have been working on or about the same?

[jrblasde]

The donor chassis looks pretty good, based on the photo I saw.

Donors always look good. Until they are out of their kidneys...

[jrblasde]

Hahaha, very true! In any event, the photo didn’t show any substantial rust on the top side of the chassis. It also clearly displayed the IF transformer for which I’ve been searching.

I’ll get you all some better information once I have it in my possession.

Hope the IF transformer is intact! Good luck! - Gary
