New to the forum
#1

Hello.
I live in Spain and I am new to the forum.
I have several radios Valve, but so far no Philco.
I wanted to have a radio that can restore and I've decided on a 80 jr.
When I receive it I will put pictures, but you need an extensive restoration.
A greeting.
José

I just got my first 80jr this week so it will be nice to see another one get restored!

The seller told me that the numbering is 326407.
What does that mean ?.

Somewhere law an article about it, but did not locate.

Could be serial #, could be chassis #....no es muy importante.
What is important is that this is 80jr.
