First Radio Resto - Philco 60B
#4

Thanks for the welcome!

I'll post a picture of the bottom tomorrow, but I see no signs of any work having been done, the bakelight caps are still sealed in tar.

The cabinet looks really good. Too good to strip and refinish, I'm going to clean it with gojo or restore a finish and buff on some wax. Hopefully that will keep some of its earned patina.

The tuning shaft is slipping on the tuner. Hopefully some cleaning will help. I understand it works by friction.

I'll work on the chassis with alcohol tomorrow. I read a tip from bottle collectors that hydrogen peroxide can clean labels without damage, I'll give it a try.
