Philco 111
#1

This started out as an unknown Philco I kept passing in the antique mall for a week or so. Personally I thought it might be a model 96, but it's hard to sneak a look at the insides of radios at this place. Tuesday this week I finally decided to get a good look at the radio and see what it was. Well, NO TAG! Looks like the tag has fallen off the set rather recently as the metal there is still quite shiny. Copped a feel of the tubes under the shield to try and count them... 10? 11?! Ok, this is definitely NOT a model 96! Cabinet looked great and even though it was priced at $185, the discount after paying cash brought it down to $166 after taxes. Looking through this site I am now certain I have a model 111 console from 1931. All the tubes in it are still good and it even still has four original globe type tubes in it! Now it will need a new cord and the speaker wires repaired, looks like a mouse attack.

Note from site admin: Sorry, but the photos which were attached to this post are no longer available.

No matter where you go, there you are.
