Anyone able to identify this radio?
#1

I have this radio kicking around but the label is missing.  It has a PT-25 chassis in it.  Anyone know the model number?

It's very close to, and seems to share a cabinet with, the Philco Transitone TH-14.

It's kinda halfway between a TH-14 and a PH-25. Maybe it's an "RH-19.5".  That's a halfway kinda number, haha.  Icon_biggrin

I have the exact same case except mine has a pt-27 in it. I was never able to find out any other info.

I looked up the TH-14, it looks almost identical except the handle and dial. I thoroughly looked the case on myne over and there is no holes for a handle. I did find a PT-31 looks like myne but I cant find much let alone a year. I'm estimating 39-42 maybe? Myne is all original except the firecracker, and I used it every day. I have an appointment in June to have it gone through and rewired. I love listening to old black and white radio on it every night. Amazing that broadcast still come through loud and clear 80 years later, the local station is so loud I can easily listen with the volume all the way down.

That series of chassis were used in a number of cabinets, there was even a battery version (at least on the Canadian market) same layout but no rectifier tube socket. I have two of the battery versions downstairs, in wood cabinets, and an AC/DC in Bakelite cabinet, the batter sets do not have Transitone market on the dial. Mixing an matching does not surprise me as swapping one chassis into another was basically bolt in.
