Philco Model 87 Lowboy tuning cable
11/27/2002 9:13:27 PMmark gilmore
I just brought a Philco 87 back from the dead today. Now it's time to get serious with the restoration. Does anyone have a diagram or picture that might help me figure out how to restring the tuning cable? It looks like it's completely intact, with loops and springs in good shape. I studied it for some time, but could not figure out how to get it back where it should be.

Thank you for all your help!

Mark,
I have a Model #65 that was made the same year. If you wish, I can email you photos of how it is strung.
