Philco radio
#9

I have a 1936 610. Paid about $60, if I remember correctly, back in the late 90's, in good working condition. It was the last year before the photofinish, and had been refinished, not the best job but acceptable. It had been repaired many times along the way with various replacement capacitors and resistors from the 50's-90's. I actually just went in again and replaced a bunch of them. It's one of my favorite radios in terms of performance- I have a piece of 3 foot wire connected to it, hanging down to the floor and I have no trouble getting any station I could ever want to receive. Lots of volume and very nice tone for a fairly small speaker.

Not worth $275 by any means. Lots of antique stores seem to think having a wooden radio means it must be worth a fortune. This summer I saw a little wooden Silvertone AC/DC tabletop for sale, 1947 model with pushbuttons... I had one I paid $20 for 15 years ago. This one? $195. Madness.
