What is the story on the Philco/Simplex Radio that just sold for over $7000 on ebay. Was Simplex part of Philco at some point.
Can't believe the Radio is that valuable.
Cheers,

Hi,
Philco bought a controlling interest in Simplex in 1937 and by the 1939 season and beyond an increasing number of the Philco sets were made in the Simplex Sandusky complex. See
