I thought I would post this here as I know there aren't all that many of these floating around. (much too heavy, right?  Icon_wink )

I picked this one up in January from a collector near Denver. I'm not sure if he is on the Philco Phorum or not? The finish is in fair condition. Dry and flaky, but I don't think I will refinish it. As usual, the rubber dampeners on the clarifiers are melted. Has anyone made replacements for them?

This is one Phat Philco and after wrestling with getting the chassis in and out of an early 680X, this one will be a welcome relief. Icon_biggrin

I sure do like those 1936 oval dials!
