Hey All,

My wife has her old Grandfather's Philco 46-1209 and other than a ton of dust, all the parts are there. I have no idea how to restore anything and was curious if anyone actually does this and there was a chance I could get this working again?  I live in the DC/NoVa area.

thanks


Stephen

You may want to get in touch with the Mid Atlantic Radio Club to see if there's a member who could do the chassis restoration for you. https://maarc.org/
