Hi my name is Brian and I'm interested in a Philco 48-1290. What is your opinion of that console radio and record player? Thank you in advance.

That wasn't a cheap console.
Has to be good.

This saidd, myself I decided that from that year I'd look for 48-1276 or 1278.

The 1276 is beautiful!  I didn't see a picture of the 1278.

1274 and 1276 are the same radio, the 1276 using a bit more expensive cabinet.
