Philco for 1948 (introduced June 1947)<\/h2>\n

<\/span>Overview<\/span><\/h3>\n

Philco's 1948 radio line was most\u00adly a com\u00adplete\u00adly new line\u00adup, with only a few \"holdovers\" from the 1946-47 sea\u00adson; these received new mod\u00adel num\u00adbers and refine\u00adments to their chassis.<\/p>\n

Philco did not offer any con\u00adsole radios in this new line\u00adup. Instead, their con\u00adsole mod\u00adels were all radio-phono\u00adgraph combinations.<\/p>\n

<\/span>Model Index<\/span><\/h3>\n

All 1946 and 1947 Philco mod\u00adels were discontinued.<\/p>\n

Mod\u00adel 48-1200 was a portable sin\u00adgle-play phono\u00adgraph, with no radio. It oper\u00adat\u00aded the same as mod\u00adels 48-1201 and 48-1260; open a door, slide a record in, close the door and the record would then play auto\u00admat\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly - and stop auto\u00admat\u00adi\u00adcal\u00adly at the end of the record.<\/p>\n

This set was \"portable\" only to the extent that it had a han\u00addle on the door - it required 115 volts, 60 cycle AC<\/span> to operate.<\/p>\n

It fea\u00adtured AM<\/span>, SW<\/span> and FM<\/span> recep\u00adtion, 16 tubes push\u00ading 15 watts though a coax\u00adi\u00adal speak\u00ader (a small tweet\u00ader mount\u00aded in front of a large woofer).<\/p>\n
