Hi all,

I have been looking for decent Philco 90 cathedral for some time. I managed to snag this one the other day.

It even has a half way decent original finish. I purchased it from the family of the original owner. It had the original Philco operating manual stashed in the back of the cabinet. It was a nice find! Icon_biggrin
BTW, I do have the original speaker. It was removed for shipment and I haven't reinstalled it yet.

Oh, If anyone happens to have an old copper Meshon cap around, please let me know. I would like to purchase it. I would like to restuff it and replace the non-original can in this radio.

Thanks,

Ed
