Pandora Radio – Part 1

Years ago I bought an old Philco 39-17T tabletop radio with the intent of converting it to a slave set of speakers for attaching an external mp3 player. That project lingered a long time, and I never quite got around to it. Here are some pics of the original radio when I bought it. The outside was a little beat up, but repairable - but the inside was trashed.

And here are some photos or the restored shell of the radio. I refinished the case, replaced the grill cloth, and spray-painted the metal escutcheon plate. I've gutted the inside in preparation for the new innards.
