My new 53-960. Needs recapping, and restringing.

But sounds awesome as it is! I've ordered a schematic from Steve Johnson. I may order one from Philco Repair Bench, but am unsure whether they might have one for this model.

You will enjoy that set! It is as good a performer as it is visually stunning. That is the last really great radio Philco ever made.

I think that's the one I almost bid on, but now I'm glad I didn't because radios are a lot scarcer for you than for us here in the states.

Any idea where I might find a knob? I believe it's the one for the Radio/Phono switch is broken (they've put tape around the shaft).
