I picked up this Philco 16B today, courtesy of a local radio guy who has an extraordinary collection of antique radios. It's been tastefully refinished, and electronically restored. I had no idea these things were such beasts. It must weigh 50lbs.
Sounds great, and will look great in the living room once I move some things around.
1929 Victor R-32, 1933 60L, Phil 40-158, Phil 42-400X, Phil 47-1230 Radio/Phono,, 1950 Phil TV t-1104, Air King 4000, Philco 41-105, Philco 37-675, RCA Victor 9K2, PT-50, Phil 54C, PT-44 Cabinet, Phil 118X Cabinet
I've paid more for radios in horrible condition that needed full restoration. I'll leave it at that.
It has real nice tone, and the reception is quite good. I live in an area of horrendous AM reception, but it does pretty well. There are a few stations that come in quite clear. Country stations of course. lol
Oh that's the compact model! The 1935/36 tombstone 16/116B are taller as they have 10 1/2" H speakers rather that the 8"K speaker.
When my pals were reading comic books
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.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
I know a guy that can help you w/that cabinet.....
