A Philco 50 has entered my collection.
#1

I found this at an odd little antique shop on my way to check out a large antique mall I had been told about this past weekend. It was the only radio at the whole shop and the price was okay, so I decided to increase my Philco cathedral count up to three. Other than an incorrect grill cloth, it looks complete and in good shape. I actually did run across a model 90 cathedral at the antique mall, but it had seen water and the one side looked a bit like a washboard. Not beyond help, but not worth the $145 being asked for it in my opinion. Though, it was tempting. Here is the little 50.

   

   

No matter where you go, there you are.
