Ever Find Anything Interesting In Your Philco?
#1

Hello:

Did you ever find anything interesting hiding in the cabinet when you took apart that old Philco you were working on? I bet you did. I'm sure everyone will want to hear about it.

Not in a Philco, but in a 1927 American Bosch Cruiser, I found a homebrewed amplifier with a good 01A.

This cute little tube tester was in there, too.

Not a bad for $6.95
