Philco for 1951<\/h2>\n

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

Philco's radio line remained much the same for 1951, as the com\u00adpa\u00adny con\u00adtin\u00adued to offer a vari\u00adety of table mod\u00adel radios, porta\u00adbles, and radio-phono\u00adgraph models.<\/p>\n

Odd\u00adly enough, Philco only offered one AM-FM<\/span> table mod\u00adel dur\u00ading the 1951 sea\u00adson. Philco's more expen\u00adsive radio-phono\u00adgraphs did include FM<\/span> recep\u00adtion, however.<\/p>\n

Five 1951 con\u00adsole radio-phono\u00adgraph mod\u00adels are not pic\u00adtured here; these are list\u00aded at the bot\u00adtom of this page.<\/p>\n
