Hi guys.
I am brand new to this phorum and to Philco radios. To be honest, don't know anything about them. I am here though to try and find information on one that was given to me. This is a Philco 46-350 and its unique because it has an Auburn University mascot logo on either side of the radio. The bottom front border has Aubbie (the Auburn mascot) with the word Auburn stamped across on what I believe is the leather strap. I am an Auburn fan so the guy gave it to me on that merit. The radio is in bad shape and it would be neat to restore it back to at least working condition. My question though is, is this a Philco endorsed promo item? Was there a collegiate line of these radios? Or is this the aftermarket work of a previous owner. The logo of the Tiger is in line with the period of the radio. I am hoping maybe some of you experienced and knowledgeable Philco enthusiasts can help me out. From my understanding on the little I have read, this is a common radio and looks like I could get it functioning again, I am more interested in the Auburn memorabilia aspect of it as it would be a nice center piece for my small collection.
