The PHILCO Phorum

Just inherited this from a family friend. Trying to figure out the model and year. Looked through the gallery and couldn't seem to find an identical match.

Hi,

Can you post a photo, please?

It's a Philco 620..
Do I win?

Welcome to the Phorum!

Yes Kirk...I think you win!

Heyo!

Having trouble posting attachments...no idea why. It allows me to choose the photo and when I post it the photo doesn't show up. Suggestions? 
Was hoping there was a model number or something printed onto the radio that I wasn't seeing. Lol

Please read the link Bob posted again, carefully. Also see this link:

I'm leaning towards a 640 or 650B but can't tell the difference w/o seeing the back.

Thanks!

Here's the back.

ps If you are wondering about the bandswitch knob it is a Philco and sporadically used in 1936 only.
