Philco 38-60
#1

I have this Philco 38-60 radio that I bought 20 years ago.  I cant find any information on it online. Its a great piece and I am curious to know more about it and possibly the value of such a time piece because I have been asked several time to sell it. 

It does work and I am able to get stations on it with the antenna held up high, I kinda feel like I am in a scene from the The Christmas Story when its humming along.

Welcome. Here's the production figures on it. Consoles usually don't bring much unless their rare or really high end.

BUT I would not plug back in until you had it service and all caps changed

but let`s hear from ron

Some day, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, accept this justice as a gift

Hi and welcome,
As Sam mentioned the Gallery pic:     http://philcoradio.com/gallery/1938a.htm#ar 
On some sets in the Gallery there are artistic rendering as a  live photo wasn't available. The letter X or F after the model model number indicates that chassis is in a console cabinet where T wound be a table top set.
The technical service info can be found here:   http://www.capeoldradio.com/cor_radio.ph..._box=25308
Glad to help out if you have any technical questions.

I was down in the basement in my dad's

figure out what all those squiggly meant.
