1936 Philco 116PX
#13

It's home!  Icon_biggrin . I went over to visit my parents over the 4th of July, and decided to bring it home. I'll be working on rearranging my "shop" to accommodate it, probably today.
I'll also start the process of checking out and restoring the chassis. I'll document it over in the Philco Electronic Restoration Section.
Here's some pics after bringing it home.

I had to run to the hardware store for some screws, screw collars, and t-nuts in order to secure the record player mounting flat. You can see the new parts in the corners. I'm pretty sure that is how the tone-arm got bent. A move at some point with the flat not secured. Icon_e_sad

I was able to gently bend the tone-arm back nearly straight, and secure it for the move. Icon_thumbup
