I love it. Wanna sell it or do a trade?
It looks like a 53-960 with a different cabinet.
I'll have to look and see if I have any other info on that model.

It looks like another version of the Philco 53-960.

Doesn't 53-960 have 5 knobs?
I think mine is the one.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

yes...the center knob on the 53-960 is a radio-phono switch, I think...(at work so can't check right now)

If the 5AZ4 tube is blown there might be a reason for it, don't try powering it up without checking for a shorted filter cap first. The model number is probably a Philco Products of Canada model number, which is why you can't find it online, but it may be listed in the RCC manuals.

:-) I'm sure you could talk him into it, but I don't think you want to pay S+H from Hungary....

ummm...no.
Now, if I hadn't just made a large purchase of a different electronic item, things might have been different.
Anyway...
The label indicates it was made in Canada, so the next step is to see if we can find Canadian documentation for it. And if Philco Canada documented their Tropic sets like USA Philco did, well...the answer is maybe or maybe not.
