1937 Philco Cathedral radio update after finding at the flea market for 3.00. I spent quite a bit of time cleaning this radio as it was very dirty, and rusty. A lot of the wiring was bad, all the speaker wiring was bad, it has been replaced, and the tube caps soldered back on. The cabinet was falling apart, and the veneer was coming off. I reinforced the cabinet and glued it back together and also filled in where the veneer had come off to make a smooth finish for applying new veneer. After the flea market the seller said the radio goes in the trash as he was tired of hauling it back and forth, and said due to the shape it was in no one would buy it. Since it plays I will now concentrate on finishing up the cabinet . It plays ok, and picks up most all stations since I adjusted the IF transformers just a little. This Philco project was a little more than I bargained for.
