Philco Model 112 Highboy
#5

 I would say that $195 is way too much money for the majority of unrestored early 30's consoles. I say this because of where the market has gone not because I don't like them. Where I am, in which they are not nearly as common as the U.S midwest, anything over about $125 makes them a hard sell, and that's in good original condition. Almost all have just the single AM broadcast band, which ends at just over 1500 KC, it wasn't until 1932-33 that sets with a "police band" and shortwave became common. The other reason is because of the styling, even with the Norman Bel Geddes cabinets they are viewed as being old fashioned, and the dials and control panels are all sort of similar. It's a shame in one way in that they are not as appreciated, but then again that also makes them more affordable to those of us that like them.
Regards
Arran
