I was visiting one of the local Salvation Army stores looking for
decent LPs and they had just dragged out and displayed a nice
looking Philco Model 112X radio. As they weren't asking an arm
and a leg for it, I brought it home with me. All looks intact and
in overall decent shape. A good friend of mine restores tube audio
components so I'm thinking of getting this up and running. The
one thing I do know is that the 10 1/2" speaker is very badly
damaged.... with much of the fiber cone torn from the basket.
I'm wondering if its tough to find a decent replacement speaker?..
Even though its just AM.... I'd like to get this radio back in nice
operating condition. The console itself is real nice.... just a bit
of the clear varnish missing in spots.
