Philco for 1952<\/h2>\n

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

Philco's 1952 radio line was not much dif\u00adfer\u00adent from its 1951 line. The styling lead\u00aders for '52 were prob\u00ada\u00adbly mod\u00adels 52-542 and 52-548, although mod\u00adels 52-939, 940, 941 &<\/span> 942 are also very attrac\u00adtive sets. Oth\u00ader mod\u00adels in the Philco line had become basi\u00adcal\u00adly util\u00adi\u00adtar\u00adi\u00adan in appearance.<\/p>\n
