So it's you're turn to vote. I don't buy everything I see like "Old Restorer", just for the sake of having it. I don't know much about this set. In your opinion, is this a "must have" radio, or just a run of the mill Philco. Take care, Gary

I have the 40-150 and it's my most used set and an excellent performer. Sure the rubber wiring is a pain to replace, but if the price is decent I would say go for it!
