 Up for sale today is this absolutely gorgeous and desirable 1931 Philco "Baby Grand" cathedral radio. This high-performance set receives AM broadcasts loud and clear with that warm tone that you get with these wonderful antique radios. This popular set sold over 300,000 units for Philco! The little brother of the highly collectable nine-tube Philco 90, this set along with the 90 and 21 were designed and patented by Edward Combs. The 70 is a seven-tube, AM only radio. We replaced all of the capacitors with modern equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A new period-correct cloth-covered power cord, safety fuse, audio input cable and antenna lead were installed. The radio has a ton of volume and really good sensitivity across the dial. Gary commented this was one of the nicest model 70's he has seen that has an original restored semi-gloss finish. The original knobs, 8-inch speaker and chassis are with this set, and the grille cloth is a Philco reproduction. This is one fabulous radio, the iconic Philco 70, the quintessential cathedral radio! 18"H x 16-1/2"W x 10"D. $749.00. (1600622)
