New radios in my collection

[Electronic M]

I've got two. On with pre-war and post-war FM. Need to restore them one of these days.

I have one like the captains but with brown knobs and diamond pattern. It's a 1951 but the propeller dial ones posted above were made over several and I have 2 about 1955 vintage.

Normally, I change the selenium rectifier to a 400 PRV diode rect and add a 300 ohm 3 watt to compensate for the selenium's voltage drop, the schematic shows 130 volts.

Pre- war fm on a table radio is pretty rare

Between that and the good price I was unable to pass it up. It's the first pre-war FM equipped set in my collection...Should be a fun resto once I get the fabled 'round-tuit.

I have a Philco 42-350 that works, but needs some tlc. Hum from the power supply and dirty potentiometer. It has the old FM band, which up to this point I thought was more or less useless.
