That set's in Reading, 30 minutes from me.

I could get that easy, but I just bought a 721TS tho....

Davgoodlin,
He's listed as Reading but is actually from Gouglersville. Where are you from? Do you know where Gouglersville is?

Yep, and if he paid $40 for it he might not recoup it.

Local pickup only auction won't help either.

KNH1 - Gouglersville is a tiny town very close to US 222, near the Lancaster county line. I go past there often.

DavGoodlin,
It finished at 99¢. Did you win it?

KNH1,
I did not bid on that one sorry to say. Any 50's set at that price is a bargain.
My quota was met this month by the acquisition of an RCA 721TS table model for $50, also no other bidders. I had to drive 50 miles to Maryland.

No connection - I know this should be posted curbside.

Without my camera, I also saw this in an Antique store, seems complete and has metal back cover. My book only shows a few bakelite Philco sets, none with this control arrangement. Looks like a 10" tube. Pardon the crude sketch I scannedphilco.pdfThe tag says $95

I just came home with it. Testing the crt right now.

Good job on the Philco. Amazing what you can get for next to nothing around here.
I switched to rescuing 30's radios this week and had similar luck.

I put the crt on my cr 7000 no cutoff control.
But it only was on for an hour.
I want to finish the receiver and amp in my rca before I start anything else.
The work bench keeps getting smaller

Very Interesting. I just picked up the exact model philco from an estate that was being cleared out for $25. Don't know anything about it yet, except that it's all there, (except the volume control knob) including back, metal cabinet, and lots of dust and dirt. Havn't checked anything yet, I sure hope it has a good or at least usuable CRT, fly, transformer and yoke. Will post more when I find out more about it's condition. It's going to make a good project for this coming winter. Mine is the table model, with metal cabinent.
