Hi MB

Can you post a picture? As Philco made literally thousands of different radios over the years, this is the only way we will be able to identify it for you. If you can e-mail a picture but can't post it here, send it to me at mr.philco at yahoo dot com and I will identify it here for you.

42-380 code 121 This is what it says on the inside. Does that help?

Yep that is it. Now I need some replacement parts. It has a broken faceplate (glass) and one of the four knobs is wood. Have any parts like that?

I don't stock parts to sell, but here's where you can find them:

Reproduction dial glass: Radio Daze.
http://www.radiodaze.com

Reproduction knobs can also be had from Radio Daze, or straight from the maker, Old-Time Replications.
http://www.antiqueradioknobs.com/

Used knobs are also available from at least two sources:
Mike Koste - gokmike AT gmail dot com
David Frush - parts2many AT aol dot com

Anytime you are looking for parts sources, just look here:
