I recently finished my RCA 5T. It isn't a Philco, but I really like it. I thought I would share this because, while I am a newbie, I don't want you guys to think I have problems with every radio I get. It was missing the dial cover, had a mismatched knob, bad grill cloth, needed a bit of veneer work, refinishing and I did a chassis overhaul.

Here are before and after pics... (btw-I'm keeping this one.. no matter what the Mrs says Icon_smile

) It sure sounds great and I'm very proud of it.
