Value of 46-1201
#11

I haven't looked at mine in some time, but the Philcoat faux finish was still in decent shape I think, the shaded lacquer was what was flaking off. None of these are "Hot Chassis" sets, Philco always used floating chassis designs on their transformerless models. Most are also not AC/DC sets as they have a voltage doubler power supply, though there was one Code version that was an AC/DC set. Shock hazard isn't really an issue anyhow as the chassis is completely enclosed inside the cabinet when in use, and is a bugger to get out since Philco didn't believe in using plugs and sockets to connect the phonograph to the radio chassis. There were at least ten different code numbers and three production runs in the U.S models, I think that Philco was literally building them with whatever they could get in a particular week, different tube lineups, different speakers, the only thing consistent was the phonograph portion.
Regards
Arran
