Quote:Actually, I have one of these Philco/Silvers in the pipeline with Kenny Richmond converting a single speaker 15DX cabinet similar to the one seen above, by giving it a flat-top haircut. (this is the photo that I too liked and gave me the idea)
McMurdo cabinets are SO rare to find and personally I really like the looks and high quality of the early Philco consoles.
I do plan to mount a 15" speaker over the original speaker opening and I doubt to my ears I will hear much detraction on the sound volume or quality.
At least that is my plan.
A Philco 15DX or a regular 15X? The 15DX has a pair of tambour doors over the control panel. It's my understanding that the 15DX models are quite hard to find, I think they built something like 1200 sets compared to 18,000 of the 15X.
