1936 Philco 620F
#1

Fellow Philco Phans Icon_lol
I'd appreciate some help.
I just picked up this 1936 620F, and it has been worked on. Most noticeably, the grill cloth Icon_crazy . I plan to replace it, but the backing is a flimsy cardboard. Icon_thumbdown  
Would anyone happen to have this or a similar model that would be so kind as to get a tracing or a good quality pic of the original grill board for me Icon_question

Not sure if this will help at all, as it's a model 625, which may or may not have the same backing board, but this reassembly video shows how it looks beginning at around the 6:40 mark:

One more Question: I'm in the process of recapping, and need to know the values of the tone control. Part No. 30-4316.

It's a bit clearer on this scan of service bulletin 218A:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B64cfWa...sp=sharing

0.02uF in the tone control for 61.

0.003uF tubular for 61a.


BTW - nice radio Jeff! Icon_thumbup

Thanks Nathan!
Hopefully this 620 will go smoother than my 1st! Icon_crazy
Took me 13 months to get my 1st up and running. Icon_eek
So far it's going well. Icon_thumbup

I made this video a couple nights ago. It's up and running. Icon_razz I have a reproduction dial on order from Radio Daze, and a grill cloth from Richmond Designs Icon_thumbup . I'll wait until I get the dial in before doing the alignment, as the one on there now is incorrect. Icon_rolleyes
