"Little" 19b
#1

I picked up this beauty today at a local swap meet. It's been fully restored, and plays like new. I was surprised nobody grabbed it before I did.  The price was WAY reasonable. Now my 16b (on the left in the second photo) has a buddy.

I know...my radio room is getting a bit crowded.  There's a Zenith chairside under that blanket.

Crowds are good, nice pick up. Don't want them to get lonely.

Very nice!  Congratulations.

I kinda want to do that also, . . . get a tombstone "buddy" for my 89 B, so their different cabinets can be compared and contrasted. Still looking. Icon_think

I need to get working on finding a few Philco tombstones. I rarely see them around here.

Louisville seems to be a dead area , for collecting these things.

rdnzl - glad you like the 19B and that it now has a great new home. Icon_smile

Hope to see you at a PSARA meeting and/or the next swap meet!

Can you contrast the cathedral with this tombstone (enough)?

Can't get a photo of a 16B tombstone attached.
