A few years ago I saw an example of a green 1928 Philco coffin set (I think it was a 512 or 513) with speaker at the Radio & Television Museum in Bowie MD and have been looking into possibly acquiring a working set without breaking the bank in the not too distant future. I saw a working version of one on Ebay a year or two ago but the guy wanted something like $500.00 for the whole setup which I thought was extremely excessive. My question is are these first Philco table models so rare that working versions command that kind of money or is the $500.00 price range a bit high like I've always thought?
