Philco Made Garbage Cans!!!!
#1

This will look good in the radio museum.

A good place to put used chewing gum and beer cans - yes?

The smaller bottle says "Edison Battery Oil". I always thought that oil in your electrolyte was bad. Guess I'll have to start lubing my batteries.

Oil in batteries was NOT in electrolyte - it was poured on TOP the electorlyte to prevent the evaporation.

That isn't a garbage can, it's the glass case for a Philco battery. But I think you know that already, and are just kidding, right? ...right? Icon_wink

It does look a lot like a small kitchen trash can, doesn't it?

No matter where you go, there you are.

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
