Philco 39-7
#3

this radio has had a lot of work done on it in the past - poorly done even by my standards!  The original electrolytics are gone and the 2 caps you see in the photo are what were in there.  A couple of resistors had been changed and also a couple of tubular caps. So...I'm not too concerned about maintaining originality.  I've changed all tubular caps with the beloved yellow film caps, and all resistors have been replaced.  No re-stuffing.  I really would like, though, to find 2 electrolytic cans that have the center post and a large nut for mounting.  I can make the cardboard insulator.  See my WTB ad.  

This radio doesn't really interest me that much, it's just another project to fill time until I get my Scott 16 back, which happened today!  The re-chrome shop finally got the chassis finished.  Looks great.  That's going to be major work since everything needs to be riveted back together - carefully.
