Default Re: Philips BX281U20 valve radio

Hi guys
I've added couple of pics.
The foil has been renewed and with the help of Lawrence you can now see how the aerial clip is attached to the foil. Just in case your refurbing one and had same problem as me as on how it was to be connected.
I have also taped the speaker wires to the metal cone as they are just tied off and flying around. So to reduce the strain I thought tape would reduce the chance of the wires pulling off the speaker coil.
I also used some lock nut on the speaker threads to make sure they don't come loose due to speaker vibrabtion.

Seems all bit trivial but hopefully the info maybe of some help to someone. The speaker ohms is 3.8 so just in case you need to replace a dud one and had no readings.

Cleaned up cabinet which I must say is immaculate no scratches damage at all. Probably because it was stored in the case. Found out why these did not usually come with cases. Probably for travelling salesman promoting the product.

Still waiting on these caps

Cheers Chris
