Philco 40-120C (1940)
(wood tube table radio w/SW)

 The radios manufactured by Philco in 1940 was a continuation of the 1939 models. The cabinets were more streamlined and the chassis were changed, incorporation internal loop antennas. An interesting side note: this radio had a tag that said it was a 39-6294. I did read that some of the cabinets were left over from 1939 that may have been used for the 1940 radios, and the "39" series tags were left in and used for the new radios. Not sure if that's what happened here? The 40-120C is a six-tube AC/DC, multi band radio. Philco referred to the bands as broadcast and tropical/marine/police. All of the capacitors were replaced with new equivalents. The resistors and tubes were checked and replaced where needed. A safety fuse and a new power cord were added. Gary stripped the cabinet, which is American Walnut trimmed with Zebrawood. He hand-polished the radio to a gorgeous "piano" lacquer finish. The knobs, 5-inch speaker and chassis are all factory original. A new, crystal-clear dial cover from dialcover.com was added. This beautiful Philco is ready to go! 11-1/2"W x 6-1/2"H x 6-1/2"D. $399.00. (1600630)
