The Smiling Hippo...

...Got one of these, a Philco model # 49-900-121, AKA "The Smiling Hippo". Of course, it don't work, but cosmetically, it's superb. Should be a good performer, as it has 6 tubes, which means an RF stage. Kind of a neat little set, pickle-shaped dial. After I put Ze Elbow Grease to it, the bakelite oughta GLOW... (grin)-S.
