Is this Philco 42-400 worth anything?
#9

I just stumbled across this one on eBay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/300479381451

It's been painted white, and it sitting with no bids at $40 with 8 hours to go as I type this. This should give you an idea of the value of yours in its present condition. I should add that I frankly doubt that the one on eBay will sell.

When these radios haven't been painted, they are very nice sets, and very good performers once restored.

Bill, I remember two radios from my childhood; a nondescript Motorola AM radio with phonograph, and a Crosley "Jeweler" radio that looked similar to this:

except ours was green.

Now if someone dropped a green Crosley Jeweler set off here, it too would become an heirloom, as a replacement for the one from "back then" that I tore up in my youth, long after it stopped working. If I had known then what I know now...I would still have the set.
