Two Philcos followed me home
#1

I was over at a good friend's house and saw this old philco table radio sitting in his basement. I asked him about and he said it was free for the taking and there was a second one upstairs. The first one is a 41-255 that was sitting up on end and sustained some water damage. I think it can fix but the veneer has come off and the wood under it is warped. It's a shame as the rest is almost perfect. The other one is a 40-150. It's in good shape but needs a good cleaning a going over.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
