Philco 45L
#1

Kirk wanted pictures, so here are the two I got of this radio when I bought it for $25 a few years back! I have since found the missing knob, but haven't done much else with it.

Super cool,

I'd love to find one and display together.... In the future, Icon_lol

I would love to find one of the Butterfly versions myself. I don't know if Ohioans preferred consoles more or if the table radios were more apt to be either snapped up years back or pitched out. I know up until the 2008 crash, people in my region were notorious for buying a new house every five to seven years if they could. I can remember being shocked when I found that fact out! So, lots of stuff ended up either being sold or going to the landfill each time.

No matter where you go, there you are.
