[Philco1928]

A prominent AWA officer has a "fish tank" as they were known 20-something years ago when I saw it. Actually I understood they were lotus leaves.

Fish tank!! Good memory! Indeed it was the nickname he and his wife had given it, your're so correct. Hearing that is very nostalgic. It's been years, too many, since the spouse and I visited. Acquiring the tank from my good friend took some doing, for sure, and was certainly the biggest trade I've ever made to acquire a radio!

You're also correct that they're "Lotus leaves" as I believe I may have mentioned when I wrote that part of the Philco book. This is Philco's model 515, "Impressionistic". The very one you saw way back then can be seen on page 15 of the 1st edition. It resides here in Maryland now.

Thank you for bringing back some fond memories Alan . . .
