Nathan's Philco 15X Restoration
#9

Thanks for the encouragement guys!

A few more updates:

Shadow Meter

Interesting that it's branded Westinghouse - perhaps it has been replaced? Or did Philco not manufacture the early shadow meters themselves?
Either way it still works.  Icon_thumbup

Tone Control

Rebuilt - soldered on a 2-pos terminal strip to anchor the caps and used heatshrink on the wires.

Chassis Derust

Cleaned up with naval jelly (it's a bit too cold in the garage now for Evaporust gel).

I also replaced the rubber tuner support with http://www.renovatedradios.com/product.php?product=321

Speaker Derust

Naval jelly applied with a small paintbrush.

Not sure if I'll put back the cloth since it's rusty and seems to be a moisture magnet.
