Philco 60MB (1934)
(wood tube tombstone radio)

Philco 60MB (1934)

THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

This very Art Deco styled Philco tombstone was introduced in January of 1934 as part of its long series of model 60 five-tube sets. This is the early version of what later became the more common model 66B. The Philco 60MB had a European inspired "Moderne" style cabinet. In fact the M in the model number stands for "Moderne" and related to a class of the Art Deco style which peaked in 1937. This model uses the same chassis as 60B Cathedral radio. The chassis on this example was painstakingly traced through and all filter and paper capacitors were replaced as were all resistors. The (usually always) open ANT and OSC coils were rewound, the fried power transformer was replaced with an exact one from a parts chassis. It plays loud and strong with a long wire antenna attached, receiving all of my local stations and even some on the SW band. The cabinet was totally stripped and refinished using spray toners and topped with a light coat of clear enamel for durability. A 3.5mm aux cord was attached to allow you to play your own content for your added listening pleasure. 17"H x 12-1/2"W x 9"D.
