New to the forum
#1

Hello.
I live in Spain and I am new to the forum.
I have several radios Valve, but so far no Philco.
I wanted to have a radio that can restore and I've decided on a 80 jr.
When I receive it I will put pictures, but you need an extensive restoration.
A greeting.
José

The seller told me that the numbering is 326407.
What does that mean ?.

Somewhere law an article about it, but did not locate.

Could be serial #, could be chassis #....no es muy importante.
What is important is that this is 80jr.
