_nr3.jpg "Philco 45C \"Butterfly\" (1934)") |
 For many radio collectors, a Philco "Butterfly" is a must have addition to their collections, the ultimate in Art Deco styling, the powerful six-tube, AM/SW* chassis sits behind the butterfly wings of the two-tone cabinet, giving the illusion that this is a twin speaker set. It is not. But the one speaker Philco installed is big and powerful, delivering strong sound that can be regulated with its three-position tone control. The chassis was meticulously restored with all new capacitors and out of tolerance resistors changed. A strong tested set of tubes was installed, all controls were cleaned and lubricated. The set requires a long wire antenna to be attached to receive stations, or use the 3.5mm aux cord included at no extra charge to play your own audio through the radio. *As common on this era Philco, the band switch is froze solid in the AM broadcast position. Despite days of soaking in Kroil, it would not budge. Rather than run the risk of breaking the thin two-piece phenolic wafers and rendering the set useless, I left it as is. "SW" was mostly the now obsolete Police band anyhow. The cabinet was completely refinished to match the original as close as possible. Accents are not black but rather an extra dark walnut as was the original cabinet. Caramel colored pinstripes were hand painted. Original metal back cover is present as well. These sets don't come up for sale very often, so if you've been searching for one, here's an example to consider. 16"W x 9-3/4"H x 9"D. $479.00. (1790502) |
| 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. |
