My latest Philco Console
#1

Here is my latest Philco.   37-116X.  Original finish, knobs, and grille cloth. Electronically restored.  It is a wonderful beast of a radio.

It is a great radio. A bit more rare then the Deluxe version.

Actually one was being sold during the last 4-5 months close to me.
I was bately holding myself from calling a guy. Were it not for the pandemic, I would.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

That is gorgeous alright!

Plays great with full sound that fills the room.

I restored one like that a couple of years ago. When they are right, the sound is very good!

Personally, I prefer the standard model with the shadow meter, like this one.
