THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

The Philco model 90 is easily the most recognizable antique radio ever produced. The classic cathedral cabinet, designed by Edward Combs, is the "go to" image for businesses that deal with vintage radio parts, antique radio clubs, etc. It represents the golden age of radio and there have been countless "cheap" solid-state knock offs of this radio (much smaller in size), most with a built-in cassette tape player in the side. Here is your chance to own an original 95-year-old example. This is the nine-tube top of the line in its series (the others being the model 20 and 70). There were a few different versions of the 90, this is the "middle" model with a single 47 output tube and AVC. The chassis has been fully restored with all new capacitors, all new resistors where needed, a strong set of tubes, new period correct line cord, exact reproduction grille cloth, even the original Mershon copper capacitor cans were left in place just for show. It plays loud and strong across the dial with a long wire antenna attached, or use the 3.5mm aux cord included at no extra cost to play your own content through the radio. The cabinet was completely stripped and refinished using the correct toners so that the lighter wood portions match the main body as they should. This is a large, heavy (34 pound) radio, so depending on location my usual double boxed shipping will run a bit on the high side. 18-1/2"H x 17-1/2"W x 12-1/2"D.
