Here's the dial on a Philco 66B I recently just got working this weekend. It's Tuned into that new Global24 SW station out of Florida at 9395 kHz. Comes in pretty clear here in Massachussets even with my janky longwire strung up  Icon_smile [Image: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-q7cok...041447.jpg]

Well, I'm finally getting around to contributing to this thread:

This is the dial of my just-completed Philco (Canada) 39, which is identical in appearance to a Philco Tropic 41-722.

Very nice, Ron! Looks like the flocking is nice and fully intact behind the dial.

Here's the glow from a 37-690 chassis I restored last week. The magnetic tuning and it's lamps are off. I'll get another shot when the dial is cleaned, reassembled and back in it's cabinet.

Santa Snoopy enjoying my unrestored 89-B, in a semi-darkened room. . . . well, it's had  some done to it. . . had THREE coats of paint on it when I got it. It does play a tiny bit as it is, with some hum.

It may get restored sometime in the future.  I'll let you guys know when...( just listen for the "H-E-L-P!!!" )

I'm surprised I haven't gotten around to adding mine... MY 40-190 (with the 40-180 chassis inside, accurate labels until KPTK changed a year or so ago):
