Indeed. Very nice looking radio. I like this style a bit better than 4x-x80 style.

Those don't seem the show up very often. Time to stock up on plastic wire and output transformers. When my pals were reading comic books I was down in the basement in my dad's workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to figure out what all those squiggly meant. Circa 1966 Now I think I've got! Terry

It's missing all of the station labels. Anyone well them, or do people make their own out of some sort of plastic?

I thought the labels were paper slips?
When I had MS word one could print yellow letters with brown background. One should still be able to do that. Choose a rugged paper that won't bleed, use ink jet but I have done it with color laser. FWIK Libre-Office will do the same thing... There was a thin piece of celluloid over the paper label. Plastic cut from a bottle or a piece of PEEK plastic from an art store or possibly McMaster-Carr. That way one can have modern stations for the inserts. I suppose any color combination, if one wished... Oh, very nice radio too  GL Chas Pliny the younger “nihil novum nihil varium nihil quod non semel spectasse sufficiat”

That's a much nicer cabinet than the typical Philco offering of that era.

I saw one of those 3 months ago on CL but passed. It stayed listed there until about a week or 2 ago when I decided I liked it and messaged the seller. They said it sold 3 months ago,
