.jpg "Philco 90 (middle, 1932)") THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD! |
| Well, I finally got my hands on the king of the cathedrals, and I didn't squander it. This gorgeous Philco 90 "middle" model with the single 47 output tube came to me in pretty sad condition. I spent over 100 hours making it as nearly new as I could. No less than 18 coats of lacquer and three sanding operations highlight the stunning exotic veneers Philco put on this extraordinary radio. The finish is slick and gorgeous. Globe style tubes testing 80% or better everywhere you can see them. I stuffed all of the capacitors to maintain original look and performance. Resistors as necessary and a full alignment. The sound from the massive 8-inch speaker is outstanding. One small 1/2" patch by a previous servicer. Receiver sensitivity is quite good. In case you thought they were all gone, here's your chance! AM only. Requires an external antenna. It is very heavy, so shipping is going to be a bit steep. 19"H x 17"W x 12"D. |
