Five words - You're going to love it.
In my opinion...the 111 and 112, along with the 1932 model 15 (which is essentially the same radio only with 6.3 volt tubes) are the very best AM-only radios Philco ever built. RF stage, two IF stages, and a "normal-maximum" switch for sensitivity. They are amazing performers. Actually, I think the 111 and 112 are both better than the 15. Again...my opinion. Anyway, there is a lot to like about these sets. Great performers.
The only drawback: They only tune as high as 1520 kc, and as low as 550, so you lose part of the modern AM band on both ends (mainly the high end). But as long as you don't have any AM stations you want to listen to at 540 kc or above 1520 or so, yep...you're going to love it.
