Hi, I have a friend selling a 625B radio. Its in descent condition but not restored. Was wondering what a fair price to offer would be.

Chassis structure is good but will need refinishing.
All tubes present and grillcloth is good.
Missing one knob.


Thanks

Troy

No such animal as a 36-625B. 625B A pic would help.

Philco did not use the model year prefix in their model numebring scheme until the 1937 model year.

Prior years just have the un-prefixed model numbers.
Your 1936 set is just Model 625B, the B signifying a "Baby Grand" style cabinet, or cathedral type.
