Gee, ya think?

This would be a really nice radio if it still had its legs and stretcher base.

ebay seller "lostinthesauce" 'splains it all indeed! Off about 7-8 yrs trf design too boot. I think I saw the legs for that radio awhile back at a local flea-mkt on a funny lookin homebrew coffeetable someone had special engineered? Not sure tho. Icon_wink

Hey, I emailed that person and told him that the legs were missing. It amaizes me how people can butcher up nice things like that. I guess you could use it as a oversized table radio. Ha Ha!!

I emailed the seller also. I see they have revised the description to mention the missing legs.

I found a Philco 96 in an antique shop a couple of years ago that was missing the legs. They were asking $200.00! When I told them the news they just shrugged and walked away....

Kind regards,
