Philco 53-563 (1953)
(Bakelite tube table radio)

Philco 53-563 (1953)

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Mick, Keith, Ron and Charlie would sing out with enthusiasm, "I see a red door and I want it painted black (like a Philco). No colors any more, I want them to turn black (like a Philco)." Black is the operative word when singing the praises of this far-out Philco step-down Bakelite radio! The only catch is: it ain't painted, but it sure is black! Electronically reconditioned, aligned with all old paper capacitors, electrolytics and all out of tolerance resistors replaced! The five tubes are strong with tube layout on the bottom. A Jim Dennis "Scale of Beauty" Black Steppin' Out Special! If you'd like to see additional pictures please let me know. 13-1/2"W x 5-1/2"H (or 4-3/4"H depending which level you measure) x 6-3/4"D.
