Philco 38-116 Finished - see end
#11

Just looked at the 38-116 that this character has for sale. Good looking cabinet. Wrong grille cloth, missing acoustic clarifiers. Looks like MAYBE the right speaker, but I'd want to see more of it before I'd stand in judgement.

And as already said, how's come he doesn;t know abnout the 37 and 38 690 jobs? I think he's hoping that nobody else knows about them.

Heck for the 14 grand he is asking, he could throw in a new pickup truck to haul it home!

But, once done, those 37 and 38 116 sets are Philco at their best, even without mentioning the 690's!
