I Spotted a Philco While Out to Dinner
#1

I saw this Philco radio in the storefront window of the Kilkenny’s Irish restaurant on 15th street in Tulsa. The cabinet looks as though the stain is all gone, but it is neat looking. The “Philco” decal caught my eye as my wife and I walked past.

Dunno if that is a radio or an intercom. Buttons on the top are the "stations", the "bat handle" knob on the lower right is the "push to talk" button. Other knob is the volume control.

I certainly wondered about that bat handle! I also noticed the lack of a tuning dial. I believe you’re right.

I concur. Now, all you have to do is track down all those "stations" to complete the set! Take care and BE HEALTHY! Gary
