    OK new to the site, but as I keep tripping over "old" Philcos, I thought I would join in with what I find here in the Great White North.
Just purchased a Model 20 which I see is referred to as the "Baby Grand". Looks to be a complete set although after research I has a couple of vacuum tubes that are incorrect for this set. I have seen a couple of online sites that feature restorations of this set and I have an idea of what I am in for. This is one of the oldest sets that I have run across locally. There had been a Radio station established in Fairbanks Alaska in 1923.
So, I'll try to post a couple of images here and will post questions and other images in the respective threads for electronic and cabinet repairs as I go along.
