Philco On Ebay

Yes, And Thanks Again !! I'll try and return the favour.

It was a pleasant experience all around. Unfortunate about the bidder who got bounced..

I've never seen one of this model before. The seller found it in an estate sale in Liverpool N.Y. and picked it up during the last couple of hours.
He probably saved it from going in the junkpile. It was a " make an offer " type of sale.

The chassis is the cleanest I've seen in many a year. Not a speck of rust or discoloration anywhere, almost no dust.. All but 2 of the original back screws still holding the back on.
The phenolic coupling with the actuator cam for the fine tuning mechanism is broken in 3 places, but is all there. It's been repaired before. A little superglue should get it back together permanently.

According to the Sams folder, it was also sold as a combination phonograph and radio set. Any idea how many sets which used this chassis were made?

I'll try and post some pictures once I figure out how to do it..

All My Best !!!

Sincerly,
Bob
