Well… hello there.
I was digging through my old emails last year to find some of our old correspondence. I was looking for your email address to check in with you. I couldn’t find any of it and I don’t remember what it is I had to tell you!! I don’t delete email like that so I don’t know where it all went. We communicated often when we did the Philco model 70B and 90B survey for ARC back in the 90’s.
I was looking up information about the model 90 consoles because I had a front panel to sell. The Philco Furniture History came to mind. I was curious to see if anyone had posted one online and my search only turned up conversations in which the writers were discussing whether such a thing even existed.
Fact of the matter is that I have a copy which I acquired from someone who at one time, worked with a company that had the original. When I supplied information to you to use in your first book, I included items that helped you to go all the way to 1942. I doubt very much that I would not have made my PFH available to you. So I may well have been that source of your first exposure to it.
Your website is very nice and professional. I’ll be here more often. I did spot a photo you included that showed the Philco design department and I was surprised to see how close I had come with the drawing I made that you included in your first book. Another fluke about that drawing is the date on the calendar. That turned out to be the date that the model 21 cabinet design was submitted for a patent. It made it to the cover of ARC and I got at least one comment that mentioned how closely the church across the street resemble the face of a model 90B.
