Philco 40-195
#3

Surprisingly, the cabinet is not too bad. Few dings and a chip here or there. I didn't take the unit just to flip it and make a buck. It is really amazing looking, and I'd love to be able to hear what it can pull in. That said, it doesn't make sense to spend a lot of cash on something that will be more of a conversation piece than a daily listener. One thought was to re-finish the cabinet it and put in our living room as the above-mentioned conversation piece and not bother with the electronics.
