Does anyone have an Actual picture of a OEM 47-1230? ( or I understand the 46-1209 and 46-1210 are identical). The Philco site seems to just have a drawing of it. Was hoping it would help me in determining how dark to make the different areas.

Yes, the Gallery only has an illustration...because no one has ever offered a photo of a 47-1230 for use in the Gallery. I've done all that I can do. Sorry I can't help you this time.

Somehow, Greg, something tells me that you did offer photos of that set to me and I have yet to use them.
If this is the case, please accept my sincere apologies. I guess the Old Man stuck his foot in his mouth again. Debbie brought home a nice gift to me from her recent work trip to Philadelphia - the flu - and I feel like crap today.
That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it, because it is the truth.

Oh, Ron, no need to apologize for anything. The fluorescent lighting where the radio is located doesn't make for great photos anyhow
Sorry to hear Debbie and you both caught the flu. I remember I was sick with it when the space shuttle disaster took place, almost exactly 28 years ago. Tis the season, I guess. A few years back I caught the noro virus, and that makes the flu look like a walk in the park. Anyhow, I hope you both feel better soon.

Thank you very much. Even a pic of the phono section, that will help too. I wasn't sure I would get a picture. It looks the bottom and phono drawer are not to much darker than the rest. Ron, If mine comes out close to original I would be glad to offer some pics, although Notalgiaradiotimes radio looks like it is actually an original finish. Thanks, Again.

Hope they'll be somewhat useful, Warren. Yes, mine is the original finish. It has some issues, but wasn't bad enough to refinish.

Thats cool it is original. Mine was original and in very good condition until the heat and smoke from a fire ruined it. Hopefully I can get it back to good condition. Thanks.
