Now, another acquisition:
This set came from the Olney auction this past Sunday.
[Image: http://www.philcoradio.com/images/phorum...ff/112.jpg]
It is a 112 Bel Geddes lowboy, has some minor veneer issues, and the knobs - well, two of the knobs are 1937-40 Philco, the tuning knob is from an RCA, and the off-on knob is missing. Cloth is not original. The chassis is the later version with push-pull Type 47 outputs (one of the Type 47 tubes is missing).
The price: $20. No-one bid against me. Oddly enough, other consoles brought more money than this one did.
A friend of mine says I "stole" this at the $20 price. What say you guys?
