16B be my Valentine
#1

While over a pals house today for some repair help, I spied a large Philco sitting amongst several other radios on the floor. I asked his wife when did he get this set. Oh, I found it in a second hand shop, gave it to him for Valentines day, a very well preserved and heavy 16B. Good luck to my pal.

I loved my Valentine gift but some guys have all the luck.....at least these types of things still happen, my turn next?

... wow....not that I get any valentine gifts....or give any....or a 16B suddenly shows up in NJ close to me....but this is still great.
