MARKETED BY RADIOBAR COMPANY OF AMERICA

For the 1938 season, Philco did not market its own radio-phonographs. Instead, Radiobar Company used Philco chassis and Capehart automatic record changers in a line of radio-phonographs of its own, which were called "Phonograph with Philco."

Prices and production figures are not available for these models.
