Philco radio
#1

Hi all and thanks for letting me join.
  I have a possibly unanswerable question, but here goes.  
When I was 7 or 8, one of my brothers brought home a Webcor 78 changer, a collection of children's records and what I think was a Philco radio that the record player plugged into. I still have the changer and the records, but the radio is long gone.  If I am remembering correctly, the radio was in a vertical cream plastic case with, I think, a brass handle, and the changer plugged into a phono jack on the side. This would have been sometime in the early 50's.  
Anyone know what the radio might have been?  
Thanks
Thom

Thom,
Welcome!
Honestly, my knowledge of Philcos is mainly 1930s, but we do have a Gallery, listing and showing models by year. Take a look and see if you spot it.
