This radio was only 20 minutes away, yet took me a week to finally get my schedule to jive with the seller's to go see it. I actually found out about this before my 38-116 after the guy answered my want ad for a 37-116 or 38-116!
I stumble on this and the 41-280 model Philcos quite often around here, but they always have the automatic $100 price tag no matter what they look like. This one was a lot cheaper, but has the usual 40-180 issues. Bad push buttons, bad finish, and it is missing a tube. (The 1235?) One nice thing is it still has all the knobs and I still have to fish two 45 record adaptors out of the grill. I can use those!

No matter where you go, there you are.
