Source: Philco service data for 1948; Philco Home Radio Yearbooks, 1950, 1951, 1952, 1953. The 1951 Home Radio Yearbook does not list any Tropic models; neither does the 1954 Home Radio Yearbook. By 1954 Philco (UK) was likely the primary supplier of Philco-Tropic radios, along with Philco Industria Argentina for the South American market.
