Philco Tropic 48-890
#1

   

Hello all

I have unearthed this model from among my father's effects. I don't know much about these radios. It turns on and the tubes glow and it hums, but in terms of frequency, is there anything being broadcast these days on the various bands?

My intention is to sell (we are downsizing). However, I don't know how to "represent" the item in terms of "it works" (other than the glowing and humming thing)

I'm guessing someone in the forum knows a thing or two about this model...

Thank you.
