WELCOME to the Internet's leading resource for PHILCO history and reference! PHILCORADIO.COM is a treasure
trove of historical information concerning the former Philadelphia Storage Battery Company and Philco
Corporation.
This website is currently under heavy construction. I am not only changing the overall "look and
feel" of this site, but will be adding new features as time allows. Eventually, new portions
of this website will include sections on Canadian and UK Philco radios.
The Restoration Notebook is now online! The Notebook goes into great
detail on the restoration of a few different Philco models. This section, too, will grow as time goes on.
The Tech Section now has a page on rebuilding the
dial drive mechanisms of 1936 Models 116, 640, 643, 645, 650, 651, 655, 660, 665.
The Links Page has many newly added links. I have also gone through every link on the
page, fixing or deleting broken links as needed.
A very comprehensive History of Philco from their humble beginnings in 1892 as
the Helios Electric Company through the World War II years is online and ready for your viewing. This section
covers several pages and includes many photographs, several of which you have probably never seen before. I
hope you will find this feature of the website to be very useful.
 The PHILCO Radio
Gallery has been completely rebuilt, and now features larger photos for your convenience in identifying a
particular Philco model. The Gallery is currently complete through ALL of the pre-war years (1942 season), and
also features pages for 1946, 1947, and 1948. Eventually, pages will be added with photos of Philco radios
through the 1950s.
Looking for books about the vintage radio hobby? Please visit the
PHILCORADIO.COM Bookstore, brought to you
in conjunction with Amazon.com.
This site also has a Site Search page (powered by Google) which will assist you in
finding exactly what you are looking for on this site. Also, in addition to the Site
Search feature, the Site Map will allow you to quickly find any page on this
website.

 This site hosts the
Philco Phorum, the place to meet and discuss Philco radios
with like-minded individuals. Here you may find answers to the questions you may have about Philco sets. You may
also place for sale and wanted ads in the Phorum, as long as they are for Philco items.
 A place to find those parts and tubes you need to
repair your Philco radio is just one click away. Visit the Resources page.
Free online schematics are available for those who may find these useful, along with
a number of technical tips, hints, etc. in the Tech Section.
