Hello! I am very happy to be hear as I have always admired vintage radios. My wife and I recently bought our first home so I actually have ROOM to store one Icon_smile

I recently purchased (on Sunday) a Philco 37-84 for $32.00 at an antique store. I am wanting to make it original as possible but I can't spend a fortune (I am a teacher, ha). Can you please take a look at the two photos below and tell me what is "not correct" about it? I know the dial was handmade.. Looking at this model online, I see dozens of variations and have no clue if mine is correct or not in terms of the knobs/color. Thanks SO much and, again, I am So glad to be here Icon_smile
