I got this today from a forum member. A Philco 15X from 1932. Restored electronically, and original cabinet finish. Plays wonderfully with excellent reception. Better than other early 30's radios I own and have owned. The light on the front is a nice touch. I need to make room for it's final destination in the living room.

Very nice!
I have one as well. It is in very good cosmetic condition; I haven't tackled the electrical restoration, because the power transformer and antenna coil are burned out. It was a lightning strike victim.

A beautiful radio.
I wanted one like this. Eventually a year sgo I got 112X which looks very similar.

Remember to remove the lightbulb prior to removing chassis from cabinet - or - add step: go to store for new bulb.
