A phonograph attachment only, it could be wired to any radio receiver. The unique linear tracking pickup in the lid reset itself whenever the lid was lifted. It used no tubes, amplification being provided by the radio it was connected to. It operated on 115 volts, 60 cycle AC.

This set initially included a 39-12 (38-12) radio chassis with the single play 78 rpm phonograph mounted under the top lid, which also had a  linear tracking, self-resetting pickup like the 39-10RP. Later models used the 39-6 chassis, as shown here.

The two versions of Model 907 were apparently never put into production. They were intended to be wireless phonographs which had a built-in oscillator which would broadcast over an AM frequency to any radio in the same room as the phonograph. This principle was later used in Models RP-1, RP-2, RP-3 & RP-4.

The console version of the 907, which was a 907T mounted on top of a record storage cabinet. This model was also never put into production.

The first wireless phonograph actually put into production by Philco, it had a single play 78 rpm phonograph and a two-tube AM oscillator, which broadcast the sound of the phonograph over a low frequency in the AM band to any radio in the same room with the unit.

This model used the linear tracking, self-resetting pickup that had been previously used on Models 39-10RP & 39-12TP. With the lid closed, the unit looked like a large version of a Philco Mystery Control - without the telephone-type dial.

The electronics of the unit were identical to Models RP-1 and RP-2, other than the pickup.

The largest wireless phonograph made in the 1939 season, this model was made to sit on the floor, and had space for record storage in the bottom of the unit. It, too, used a two-tube AM oscillator to broadcast the sound of the record being played to any radio in the same room with the unit.

This set was expensive, and not many were made. I have never seen one, nor have I heard of any that still exist - although a few may be out there, somewhere.
