Wonderful Philco...congrats on your cathedral radio. I'd love to own at least one cathedral, a tombstone, and a console to complete my small collection of tube radios (the '33 Emerson-Ingraham Model 25A mantle radio still being my favorite). There's an early to mid '30s RCA Victor R5 or R6 Radiolette at a local antique shop, but it's $175 and not in the best of shape cosmetically, although all its knobs, tubes, and labels are intact, along with its original grille cloth. If I had the extra cash, I'd buy it and ship it off to my dad who restores antique radios on the side...from what I've told him, he assures me it would clean up just fine!
Anyhow, good luck with your Philco restoration. I think Philco and Zenith cathedrals are the most beautiful around.
