The PHILCO Phorum

Found yesterday in Winston Salem, NC.
Cabinet good shape, needs grillecloth.
Chassis virtually no rust, still has both copper mershons and ALL Philco globe tubes!!
Besides a good cleaning and grillecloth replacement, I am not sure if I want to do anything else to this survivor!!

Done good.

Wow.

Thanks, Guys! Oh yes, and it cost 100.00 !!!

Well worth it Tom, and the cabinet looks good.

Chassis cleans up easy if no rust present, so I do not even consider it a chore.

Outstanding find!!!! Don't see them in that shape out in the wild very often.

I know what I will do.
I will restore another 70, patch the middle hole, put the On/Of trigger switch in the back and declare it a 50.

Very, very nice!

What year by chance?

Should be 1931.

They used 70 cabinet and drilled the front panel for 50 shaft pattern.

Ah, very nice! I have a model 50 in the later cabinet style. Paid about the same for it.

50 is the one with the transformer underneath the chassis, right? Or which one was it?
That was a dumb idea though.....

Great condition! Good luck with it.

Yes, power xfrmr is under the chassis.

Dumb. That's just dumb. Like the transformer runs so cool that being in enclosed tight space will benefit it greatly and at the same time the rest of the under-chassis denizens.
