Philco
MODEL 1885W
SET NO. 814
SERIAL NUMBER 57.3814
PHILCO CORPORATION OF CANADA LIMITED
DON MILLS, ONTARIO

Now here is the question.
With all this why can't I find any real information on this unit or any refrence to something even close to it?
What year it was made?
(I know it was after 1961 because on the owners manual it say philco a susidary of ford motor company but before 1965 because the name has not been changed to philco-ford).
Can I get a scematic or repair guide?
Is it rare enough or worth enough to keep it all original?
(I would like to re-finish the cabinet, replace the speaker covers with somthing newer, and add some digital components).

would love to hear any info or thoughts. I am very new to this and have tried to do some reaserch before posting this, I have not found anything on this model.
Thanks
WWS
