Yay or Nay?
#1

I'm sure all of us feel that Ron Ramirez' book "Philco Radio 1928-42" is the BIBLE for collectors, and a definitive look at the sets produced during those years and the company that made them. Realizing this book was published nearly 20 years ago, I, for one, feel a Volume 2 is in order, covering the post-war Philco sets, 1946 - ??. The late 40's found Philco still selling sets in great numbers (thanks, in part, to radio shows sponsored by Philco and ad campaigns featuring Bing Crosby & Burl Ives), and in the last twenty years, the sets produced during those years have become quite collectible and quite popular with collectors (just look at the prices the "hippo" 46-420 and "boomerang" 49-501 sets are bringing, as an example). Those of us who possess examples of sets from the post-war years I'm sure will be more than happy to share photos of their radios for the book, and any other advertising or memorabilia pertaining to them. So how about it, Ron?Icon_biggrin
