While over a pals house today for some repair help, I spied a large Philco sitting amongst several other radios on the floor. I asked his wife when did he get this set. Oh, I found it in a second hand shop, gave it to him for Valentines day, a very well preserved and heavy 16B. Good luck to my pal.

I loved my Valentine gift but some guys have all the luck.....at least these types of things still happen, my turn next?
