Earlier this summer I found this radio at an auction and bought it because I needed a Philco fixerupper project for the Winter. So, I am just beginning on the project and as I get more deeply into it I will post more about it. Here is a photo of it and as it shows, it is in good condition with a few common issues like pushbuttons, grill cloth and dial cover.

Also I found out that someone had changed the 6A8 tube and socket for a 6A7 tube and socket.
