Hello Friends

An other Philco console , proposed near Caen in Normandy , since beginning of december .

https://www.leboncoin.fr/decoration/1349...htm?ca=4_s

Unfortunately , for the moment , I have no more space for the moment to store it  !  And due to restoration costs , its seems to me proposed a little bit too expensive. Moreover , it is located 160 km ( about 100 miles ) from my house and near the sea side .

Not a nice weather for the moment to go to the sea side !!   Icon_confused I ' ll wait somme weeks , until spring hoping the price be lower , to decide if I get it or not  .  Icon_e_wink

I wish everybody, my friends , a merry Christmas from Normandy in the mist ! Icon_biggrin

cordially

Claude

A Canadian made Philco, easy to spot given the approval decal from the Ontario Hydroelectric Power Commission on the rear apron of the chassis. It looks like it still has part of it's original back with it as well which is not common.
