Advice needed on purchasing a Philco 40-165
#3

Hi Dan

Congratulations on your acquisition!

I know all about that "Philco Radio" book; I wrote it 18 years ago (wow, has it really been that long?). Icon_smile I've learned a lot more about the subject of Philco since then, a lot of which I've tried to share on my website and here in the Phorum.

But I digress...the book covers Philco models made, as the title implies, between the years 1928 and 1942. Once I finish rebuilding my website's Philco Radio Gallery, you won't really need the book, but you can still feel free to purchase it if you like.

You are aware of the rubber-covered wiring...so you know that restoring this radio will be somewhat difficult.

Good luck, keep checking in here and feel free to ask lots of questions.
