My new Philco 31 91? - OldRestorer - 01-30-2014
So last month I posted this Philco in the ebay/craigslist phorum and was urged to buy it. I tried but the seller never responded.
I emailed them today after seeing it renewed and stating "need it out"
I offered $50 and guess what? She said yes!
I cant read the label and have been researching it but not sure what the model is.
Does anyone have this radio?
Is it a hard rebuild with all the blocks?
Is is a strong player?
Thanks

Looks like a 91 chassis from the knob/dial config. but not sure of the exact cabinet model

Perhaps a 91D.
RE: My new Philco 31 91? - Ron Ramirez - 01-30-2014
Yup, it's a 91D - the chassis is Code 126, just like the 91 chassis I recently rebuilt. It is actually from 1933, one of the last 91 sets in production before the 91 was discontinued around July 1933.
I don't yet have a photo of this variation of the 91D in the Gallery.

91d huh, Thanks for the knowledge, I just got a picture from her and this pic was missing from the listing.... Grrrrr, more veneer work!
RE: My new Philco 31 91? - Ron Ramirez - 01-31-2014
Could be worse - the entire cabinet could have been dipped multiple times in polyurethane. My 91D was like that (covered in a thick layer of polyurethane), so I gave the cabinet away and kept the chassis, which is now in a cathedral cabinet.

I really hate craigslist people!
She emails me today after making the deal and scheduling pick up and says " I sold it this morning"
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

It isn't right to sell it out from under you after agreeing to sell it to you, but what can you do about it? Nothing. Just think of it as $50 saved, plus time and gasoline.
Yes, it still sucks.
