Did Philco Make Stand Alone Single End Hi Fi Amps? - Pushpullron - 09-08-2014
I saw a picture- illustration~ ad. of a Philco Amp (receiver?), must have been integrated, sitting on a cart. No console.
It had a cool closed box speaker on the lower shelf with what I'd guess was a 10" driver and a flat horn.
Did Philco make Hi Fi Amps under their name? Or stand alone receivers without a console?
It was an illustration so maybe it was a product that did not exist.
Is Fisher part of Philco? I could google it I guess.
Thanks!

That's just something that someone dreamed up, as far as I know. Those do not look like Philco products. And Avery Fisher would not have designed something to roll around on a cart like that.
I've seen the illustration before (without the text box and Philco logo), on one of the Mid Century Facebook groups.
Oh, and there was no connection between Philco and Fisher. They were two separate companies. I happen to be interested in both.
Philco did make a few stereo receivers after the Ford buyout, but they are junk compared to real receivers such as The Fisher, Harman Kardon, H.H. Scott, Pioneer, Sansui, etc.

Well, you could have put an Amp, turntable and speaker on a cart like that and that's what it is not a "Philco Port-O- Sound Cart." I was wondering if they had a stand alone receiver (or Amp) back then, pre stereo.
My Dad had a Fisher Amp (as I remember) pre stereo. In fact my Father thought stereo was a fad at first.

Quadro was a fad, stereo wasn't.

I gather that. That's something he said in the early 60s(?). He had stereos afterword's of course. He was more of an audiophile than I am. He thought color TV was a fad.

What did he think of the horseless carriage?
RE: Did Philco Make Stand Alone Single End Hi Fi Amps? - morzh - 09-09-2014
I say color TV is still a fad. Just a lingering one.
Colour distracts one from the true meaning of a picture.

I found a 1959 Philco SA-2001 HIFI Amplifier Speaker, 3 inputs, base/treble/ and volume......Very Cool. Not sure if this is what your are asking about. I could not find anything online except one site, but little info. http://www.philcoradio.com/gallery/1960.htm#x I have the Model H1619, and there is no radio, or record player.

Considering this thread is 6 years old, you'd be better off writing a personal message to whoever you are asking.
Or even email if the account lets you.

Hi and welcome to the Phorum,
Didn't find any free info for the sa-2001 but found a sa-2000.
Click here: https://www.rsp-italy.it/Electronics/Radio%20Schematics/Collections/Beitman/1959.pdf and scroll to pg 121.
Looks like it's designed to power eletrostatic speakers which maybe difficult to find these days. Could be converted to
use pm speakers by changing the output transformer.
