The PHILCO Phorum

Hello,
I'm new on this forum, but pretty familiar with ARF - glad I found you folks! I picked this one up at auction and have a question. Did this chairside have decals around the knobs to indicate thier function? This one doesn't, but really shows no wear in these areas. Finish is pretty good, no veneer issues, and it works! It's on the bench awaiting a recap. Thanks, Jim

Hi Jim, and welcome!

The only decal used on your Philco would be the PHILCO trademark - NO decals around any of the knobs.

Hope this helps,

Thanks "Mr Philco",
I was pretty sure that was the case, but it's sure nice to get verification from someone who knows! I appreciate this forums existance & that there's a place we can get GOOD info!
Thanks Again, Jim

What decals should I have on my 37-650? It has the "PHILCO" at the top above the dial, should it have others, and what size?

Thanks,
Scott

Hi Robbie (or is it Scott?)

Again, only the PHILCO trademark, no others.

Thanks Ron! I didn't see any markings near the knobs, and had been under the assumption they had worn off with use. Interesting to see there weren't any!

My name is Scott, I go by the nickname "Robbie" with my WWII RAF living history friends, but am starting to use it elsewhere as well- although I often forget and sign as "Scott"...lol... So either is fine with me!

I'm looking forwward to buying a copy of your Philco book shortly! Looks very interesting, just haven't had the funds yet.

Thanks again,
Scott, a.k.a. Robbie

Ron;
Would it be inappropriate to add knob I.D. to the 39-7?

Hey Dan, welcome back!

Well...as the old saying goes, "it's your radio and you can do with it as you wish," but it would be incorrect to place decals around the knobs on a 38-7 since it did not have any originally.
