finally beginning 118
#22

Hi Glenn,

Thanks for the quick reply. I think I may take you up on some pictures or help with the wiring, on this Philco 118.
I hope that my parts arrive soon and I can really get started re-wiring the chassis.

This is actually my first time restoring a radio. I have never done anything like this before. When I first looked at the chassis and saw all the damage, done be the mice , I had second thoughts about working on this radio. All the damage done by the mice was overwhelming.

While I was removing all the components and damaged wires I just knew that this was not a good idea; however, now that I have all the parts are out, the chassis cleaned up and the thought of new parts arriving, and going in, I have a better outlook for this radio.

Like I said I think I will be asking for your help with pictures, the wiring etc. I also feel much better attempting this knowing there are people out there more then willing to give advice, help or ideas of what or how to do this. Thanks to you and all that may help.
