Welcome to the board, Ron. There's something for everyone into Philco's here so it seems. I am a borderline Philco/Zenith person and have found enjoyment in both sets. I like working on Philcos. Just finished touching up and recapping an old 42-345 I had since I live in Fla some years ago. Almost forgot about it. I gave it a nick name of THE SQUEALER as all it did was play loudly and squeal. A handful of caps later I'm listening to it now to a station on AM 740 in Toronto playing Big Band music. OK, Toronto is not that far from Chicago, but considering I live within line of sight to the WGN AM 720 tower, I'd say the old Philco's doing well. Well that's my ramble for tonight. Keep us posted. You have the best Philco tech online here. Thanks Ron Ramirez for your time in putting this together. Gary in Chicago.
