Hi.

I  have this Philco 245 and now  I finished the restoration of the chassis.

Hello Edison,
That radio chassis turned out very nice you did great job stuffing the capacitors.

Hello Richard.
Thanks.

Yes, i stuffing all the capacitors, made replicas of resistors, chassis and tuning capacitor rubbers. 

I disassembled the chassis, cleaned it of rust and then it was varnished (I don't like it painted).

Then it was mounted again.
Some photos.
