All,I thought you might enjoy seeing this. I drove 970 miles each way to get this, down in Lake Charles, Louisiana. It is 100% complete, down to the "missing" piece of veneer on the front, and the…Continue

"I've seen a pointer dial Philharmonic with a factory front panel. The brackets to attach it were on the top, and were chrome. I can't remember where the brackets attached to the chassis, but they attached to the front panel…"
"I also remember reading that. It was probably made so that a metal tube could be used as a replacement. But, I'd bet $20 that it came with 6J5 G tubes. "

"Could be a broken shield wire, or some wire that is a ground return. Make sure your filament wiring hasn't been scooted over by a plate or grid lead. If you can't find something like that, then you'll probably have to…"
"Replacing tubes is the wrong advice. Get the service information, from this site, for your particular chassis (or something close) and start checking your B+ and cathode voltages on each tube, starting with the power supply. You probably…"

"Found it while searching for something else!"
"I have a good dial glass and assembly that is pretty much rust free. PM me if interested.....hopefully, I can find it!"
"I'm wondering if you could take tube sockets and coils out of that corner of the chassis, and beat it back out straight. If you took out the perishable parts, you could probably heat up the chassis with a propane torch and hammer it back…"
