I dont have one yet.....
#18

Hi John. I have the early style model 20. It was my grandparents home radio, then became my dad's garage radio. The delicate grill is it's selling feature, and also it's Achilles heel. Very delicate woodwork to restore, and almost never seen intact. I'd have all three if I can find a 70 and a 90. The shortcoming of the 20 is that it is a TRF reciever, with no tone controls. The K-type speaker can be rebuilt easier since it's wiring is bolted in instead of pressed on. In my opinion, the 20, 70, and 90 were the sets that made Philco an early success story. Especially the 20. Think about it...over 300,000 sets sold as the Great Depression was at it's worst. That says something. Take care, Gary.
