All,
Here are some photos of the completed Stewart-Warner 11-6V. I still am having issues with records sounding like crap; but I think that may be tracked down to a shot cartridge. Any suggestions on a reasonable replacement for an Astatic N8-1 ?
All in all, the electronics portion of the resto was the quickest and easiest. The wood resto took quite some time; as I wanted to bring it 'up to date', but not quite like new. I didn't realize that it was so dusty until after I took the pics...I still have some clean-up to do on it; but you will get the idea.

Here's the pics:

Thanks again to everyone ! This actually was a gift for my Father...I do hope he will enjoy it.

Thanks again,
Steve

Steve, looks like you did a great job on this , I bet you have got the antique radio bug now...lol, I have a player simular to this only is a G.E. I found in a hay loft in a barn the veineer was all peeled off was full of mice and bugs etc , my friend who helped me load it up thought I was nuts , but slowly but surely I got it playing and re-veineered the whole thing , and it looks just about like yours does. watch out or you will be scoping out trash at the road looking for another treasure to restore ... oh by the way if trash picking make sure and take the kids with you... it embarasses mine to no end...LOL.
Good Job!

Thanks Elton ! I already am looking for an old Philco (as I currently live in Philly...). Not really sure on any specific model; I will take whatever the radio gods grant unto me...

Regards,
Steve
