Hi and Welcome aboard,
What sort of Philco set did you find a US or Brit built one? It's always a treat to see the non US set as they are pretty common over here. Especially the pre war models.
Here at the Philco Phorum Philco's are our speciality!
When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
