My parents had a Philco Radiobar which I used to play with when I was 5-7 years old. I got my first shock putting my finger in the bar light socket and being a mischievous child I poked holes in the speaker accessing it through the little door in the cabinet side. I remember the rectifier mounted on top of the transformer going gassy and flashing a brilliant purple. My grandma also had a Philco model 70 which had a torn grille cloth. The little spiral thing in the center of the speaker fascinated me. Wish I had that radiobar today.
