Philco 38-2 Restoration
#1

Greetings all. First time on the forum and happy to have found it. I am in the middle of electrically restoring a 38-2. I've recapped the main chassis and rebuilt the four bakelite condenser blocks; they were way out of tolerance. I've also rebuilt the two electrolytics that were also way out of tolerance. I've rebuild and lubricated the dial mechanism also as it was frozen, had to make a new flex coupling. I have some more resistors on the way, I found a couple that had scorch marks and cracks. 

I can not figure out how to access the center tuning section, there are two more bakelite blocks in there that I'm pretty sure will be out of tol. also and i'd like to clean it up and lubricate where appropriate. 

Can anybody steer me in the right direction on access to the center sub-chassis (I think it holds the tuner section)? 

Cheers, Link
