Hi all,

I managed to snag this Philco 38-2 off Ebag for $50 today. It is an 11 tube set with magnetic tuning so I think it should be a pretty good performer. As usual, it will need some work, both electronic and cabinet wise. But, that is what I enjoy! I will be in that area on Saturday, so it will be local pick-up, which is all the better. Supposedly, it is fresh out of grandpa's attic.

Somehow, I get a kick out of these big Philcos. Icon_smile

Regards,

Ed
