Philco Tropic Model A-707
#1

Woo hoo, I just won an A-707 via our favorite online auction house.

I've never seen one of these before, although they had decent production (10,100 were made per Philco Furniture History). And it was misidentified in the auction as a 1939 model, the seller obviously going by a Philco part number.

It uses the same cabinet as a 42-PT3. Both came out in January 1942, a short time before civilian radio production was shut down for the war effort (World War II).

Now I hope it just gets here in one piece instead of in pieces...

(edited to remove link, as photos have been removed by seller)

Seller's pulled the pix already from the auction. I'll post a picture when it arrives here. (keeping my fingers crossed for safe delivery)
