I just brought home another Philco- this is number 5 on Philco's, number 8 on radios in need of repair...

What is it? All the stickers are missing- this one has obviously been stored in an unhappy locale...
The stamped serial number is: P05708 It looks to be a two band chassis inside, and has an early style shadow meter...it has 8 tubes.

I have no clue what it is- but guess what- I adopted it and wish to rehabilitate it... As usual. Got it for $75- got the seller down from $100. Tried to offer $50, but she wouldn't bite. I still feel it was worth it to save this neat looking one. Now I need a house with lots of rooms...
