Philco Seventeener III

Looks good. The late 50s - early 60s Philcos had great support close to home. as well as RCA and GE, which needed more frequent service than Motorola, Zenith and Admiral sets IMAO.
I think Philcos were more popular in areas AWAY from the midwest, mostly because there were so many equally good manufacturers there.

Philco products had a large presence in Wisconsin.
It seems that most of the pre-war console radios, that still show up, today are Philcos.
