Philco 48-145 set on the way to Kutztown. Got a chance to play with it and it's a surprising good player. Someone had recapped it so all there was to was hook up some batteries to it. Yes it's a 1 1/2v farm set. Low current design 200ma for the filaments and abt 6ma for the HV. At 6ma (abt what a 6 transistor uses) the B batteries should last a long time maybe + 30hrs. Not sure how long the A batteries will go. Good sensitivity and w/it's 6"spkr sound great. No hum and ac line interference.
Got some parts coming to build a battery box so they can be fitted into the back of the radio.
Tnx

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
