Ron Dudelston Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 My son bought a 1940's Philco radio to restore. Believe it or not, the thing still works but he wants to add a digital radio to the unit with new speakers but also keep the original "guts" to the unit. Here's the dilemma. There is a small panel that he has removed that he wants to trim down and re-install as a removable plate to hide the digital radio. I suggested installing a set of slides that would pull straight out and put a hinge on the face plate that would let you flip the plate down to access the radio. Y'all have any ideas?

Larry Buskirk Posted November 28, 2015 Report Share Posted November 28, 2015 Ron, Do you have a rear view of the area? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Dudelston Posted November 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 I didn't Larry. Just over the area where the readio will sit is where the receiver sits now. Andy is going to replace the 3/4" plywood with a sheet of 3/8" oak to give a little more room. Right now there is 2" of room to sneak a radio in.

lew Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Not sure you would even need the slides unless he needs to get to the top of the new radio. I was thinking of just a shelf. Any access could be from the back. I like the flip down front panel idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Buskirk Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Ron, I'm trying to tune into what you are describing, squeal , pop , hiss wait I think I have it . How about a pair of those hidden hinges that kick a door slightly forward when opened? I'll look through my scrap boxes tomorrow, I may have just the ones that would do the trick.

lew Posted November 29, 2015 Report Share Posted November 29, 2015 Does a digital radio get WLS, KDKA, WBZ and WKBW. Late nites in the 1960's you could get these stations up and down the east coast! JimM 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
