Philco 20 and Philco 20 Deluxe
#14

Nice radios!  I was trying to reach an agreement with the owner of your 20 Deluxe when he said he had it sold.  I've regretted not paying his asking price, as it was a nice radio!  Glad to see where it went.  Kirk (OldRestorer on this board) was the one who put it on the Phorum as a lead on CL.  The knobs aren't that expensive.  Suppliers listed on this site, should have what you need.
I'm lucky to have several brands of 1930's radios, but Philco is where I started and they're still my favorites!  Welcome to the Phorum!

He told me that someone else had expressed interest in it.  Sorry it happened to be  you Steve but I'm not sorry I got the radio.   Icon_angel  I only have twenty sets in my collection and seven of those are Philcos so like you I am very partial to the brand.  Ron's book is largely responsible for that.  I mean two of the first three sets I bought when I began my collection in 2002 were my Philco 20 Baby Grand and a Philco 70 cathedral.  I bought Ron's book during this time and when I saw all of the different varieties of sets, I was permanently hooked.  All of this said, thanks for the welcome.  I really do appreciate it (and Ron's invitation to join as well).
