48 482 looks sharp, how does it play? I know some of the postwar models do not get much credit.

It plays pretty well, although the FM band tends to drift after a while.

Good Lord, beautiful stuff. Some day I'll have to invite myself over for a tour of a fellow Wisconsinite's collection. 8)

I always liked the look of ""Bing Crosby"" one., the 46-1201.

Those look very nice. I actually have four out of the six models shown in the first post and was actually listening to my 47-1230 earlier this evening. Always amazed at how good that model sounds, though the FM band on mine seems to have developed an issue since I rarely use that band.

Wonder if that was the only time Bing Crosby was on a horse...or maybe it was photoshopped!!!
RE: Some photos of post-war Philco's in my collection - NostalgiaRadioTime - 05-26-2013
No photoshopping, Art. That is actually a photo from a movie he made in 1936 called "Rhythm On The Range". It also was the first movie in which Roy Rogers appeared (he was Leonard Slye then as part of the Sons of The Pioneers).
Here's the scene in which he's riding that horse: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vHotuXVuj8Q
At one time, Bing owned a horse stable & cattle ranch, and was part owner of the Del Mar racetrack.
