Hi Keith, and welcome.
Right now your Philco is not highly sought after, but this could change at any time...or it may never be highly sought after. One never knows.
For awhile back in the mid-2000s, two postwar Philco console radio-phonographs (46-1209 and 47-1227) suddenly became hot collectibles. Prices soared from tens of dollars to low hundreds. Then the interest waned, and they are no longer sought after. What happened? I don't know.
If I could have predicted the Catalin craze back in the early 1980s, I would not have hesitated to buy a butterscotch FADA set I passed on at a yard sale for $10 back then. Little did I know...
