Hello Everyone, earlier this evening I got for Christmas (late Christmas gift) a Philco "1965 Ford Falcon" 6 Transistor AM Radio that clearly needs some work, but I'm not sure where to start in restoring it.
The 9-Volt Battery clip is heavily corroded and when a fresh 9-Volt Battery is installed in the radio all I hear is a little bit of faint static from the power/volume control switch and from the tuner when its rotated and also when the 9-Volt battery is is jiggled in its clip, other than that the radio is pretty much dead. Other than some of the issues I mentioned with the radio, its in pretty good shape overall cosmetically, except for it missing one of the turn-signal beacons on the fenders and the metal axels on the wheels being rusty. Any ideas as to what I should do to get this classic Ford/Philco desiged radio back up and running like new again?

After a long search, last week I was fortunate enough to find an older record cabinet in working condition at an estate sale. I was hoping for one about a foot shorter in length but I got the average size that takes up a bit more room lol The radio works fine in it but when I play records even ...
Hello I am new to the AudioKarma forum I recently acquired a Philco-ford solid state stereo console and I have been restoring it. I will include a bunch of pictures at the end of this post. Question 1: I have no idea what kind of stereo it is - does anyone know the model/year? Qu...
So here's this radio I got at a flea market for about $15 a few months ago. The guy originally wanted $25 but when he tested it, it wouldn't turn on at all. When I got home, first thing I did was clean the battery terminals, and as soon as I placed fresh batteries, it came to life. Anyways here's...
