Hello Philco radio buffs! My name is Don Rathbun, I'm 72 years old and retired from GM. I recently purchased a A record player I believe to be a Philco RP1 made in 1939. It has two labels on the underside of the case. One has the number 39-6267 and the other 10377-B. The first one shows the schematic for the tubes. The case is 13" deep x 14" wide x 6" high. The thing that bothers me is that it has a lid. From what I found on the internet these players did not have a lid until 1940. I'm thinking someone may have cut the case to make the lid. If they did they are a fantastic craftsman. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
