Help me identify a Philco Tropic
#1

Hello,

I've stumbled across a model I cannot identify.
Tubes (those I'm sure of) are: 12AV6, 35W4 and 12BE6 + 2 more.
On a sticker inside says: *39-9339-39 code 122, 40/100 cycles and "importe des etats unis d'amerique".
I have a few pics I may send if anyone can help.

Thank You, Dejan

Can you post the pics here?

Sometimes the Tropic models are close to the US models. Since we don't often see them here in the US its anybody's guess.

If you are outside the US I might recommend Paul Stennings forum in the UK who seem to have a better handle on the export versions.
