Yes, very nice work on the top of the model 15!

And you found a 37-690! Well done!!!

The model 15 is the last radio Philco made utilizing the "old" chassis. It is not complicated and fairly well laid out. However, it is a shallow chassis, and does not accept "modifications" well. SO... re-stuffing is probably the best way to restore this set.

You have some swell radios to restore!

Color me Icon_mrgreengreen..... with envy !!
