Philco P-1002 AM/FM Receiver from 1966
#1

I had mentioned in another thread that I picked up a Philco AM/FM receiver recently.

It is a P1002, from the 1966 season.

Two quick photos from the eBay ad:

Pros:
Good looks (yes, the wood cabinet needs to be refinished), compact size, lightweight.

Cons:
Flea powered (the output transistors are just as tiny as the other transistors in the set), and the real kicker...designed for use with 32 ohm speakers.

So...my question to you is...what do you do when you have a pair of 8 ohm speakers and a receiver designed for 32 ohm speakers?

Never mind the low output power...had I known at the time that this receiver was intended for use with 32 ohm speakers, I probably would not have bought it.
