Philco Tropic missing "foot" - elopezknowles - 03-04-2019

Hi,

I have a Philco Tropic model 95 but have sadly lost the "foot" of the cabinet when moving. Any idea what this is called and where I could purchase a replacement? Ideally online as I am based in the UK.

Thanks in advance,

Elena

Hi and Welcome,
Glad you stopped by. It may be easier to replace all 4 than try to match just one. It's a good chance that your foot was made in the UK. I looked around on google and found these  https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&biw=1280&bih=667&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=6LZ9XOrRLMa9ggfK7o0o&q=Furniture+Glide+swivel+Foot&oq=Furniture+Glide+swivel+Foot&gs_l=img.3...14993.26927..28300...0.0..0.81.623.10......0....1..gws-wiz-img.McSFN5eQWaA  You might try here: https://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=21 it's a bit closer to home.
OBTW if it's not too much of a bother I'm sure the Phorum love to have a few pics of your 95 for it's UK archive. Here in the states the model 95 is an early console model from 1929.
