I went to Goodwill outlet which is just bins of stuff thrown in, which gets thrown around by shoppers and often broken in the process.
I managed to find a complete Philco 52-540 with only a minor piece chipped off of the bottom back side. It's very minor and is only visible from the back. Being old plastic like it is, I'm amazed it didn't get broken worse than it did. The front grill and all is fine.
It even has the original back with it still. Oddly enough I saw the back first and wondered what it was.. tossing it to the side. Then I found the radio and realized that was the back I had found.
It has both knobs too and they turn fine.
It looks to be all original (probably not restored) so I didn't try plugging it in yet.
I'll post some photos later on since I just got home and haven't had any lunch yet. I'm bad about not eating when I get busy doing stuff like going to Goodwill Outlet haha.
