Philco 60, need chassis pictures
#1

I am just starting to restore a Philco 60. Someone got to it and did some wiring changes and I want to put it back like it was so I am looking for some pictures of the underside of the chassis. I have the version with the wave trap. Pictures would be greatly appreciated. My email is rcarlkelly@aol.com.

Thanks, Bob

Bob Andersen has a 14 part YouTube video series on the Philco 60 restoration that should help you out. The first one is at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xSpm5KfDW...ults_video . He also frequents this forum from time to time. A google image search on "philco 60" turned up this chassis shot http://www.flickr.com/photos/70039806@N00/5106922986/

Here's the whole set of my photos. http://www.flickr.com/photos/70039806@N0...106922986/

And here it is after the restoration which is as near to original as I could make it.

I just watched some of your videos. Very well done and informative. Where did you get the readable circuit diagrams?

I don't know where Bob A. got his but this Philcoradio web site has a whole set of Model 60 schematics at http://www.philcoradio.com/tech/60evol.htm

Yes, that's exactly where I got mine.
