 Bold Art Deco styling is prevalent on this five-tube, AM/Police band Philco. Cabinet is nicely refinished, however the previous owner sanded off the Philco faux finish on the front panel. So I recreated as best I could using various toners, and a little poetic license! While retaining the original patterns in the original dimensions, my new incarnation is bolder and more colorful. A real eye catcher! New reproduction grille cloth. Original dial scale has a (reinforced) crack and a dark spot but still is legible. New 8-inch PM speaker to replace the destroyed original. New volume control, band switch, plus all filter and paper capacitors replaced along with out of tolerance resistors. Tubes all tested good. Plays loud and strong with a minor low volume background hum due to the original output transformer coupled with the new PM speaker. Requires its long wire to be attached to an external antenna source to receive stations. Or use the 3.5mm aux cord to play your own content. 16"W x 10-1/2"H x 9"D. $229.00. (1790311)

I offer a quantity discount on my radios, so check out my other listings and drop me a line if you're interested in
more than one at a time. A Bluetooth/MP3 player 3.5mm cord has been installed at no additional charge when the circuit
design allows for another listening option beyond the standard AM broadcasts. You can plug in to the headphone port of
your device and enjoy the music of your choice through the radio or unplug for standard AM broadcasts.
