I bought a 60L off Ebay Saturday and am driving up to Chesterton, IN to pick it up today. It's only about a 2.5 hour drive one way for me and, I'm like a kid in a candy store anxious to get it home and check it all out. From what I've been able to research so far it appears to be a 1934 vintage, but I am not positive about that. I'll post some photos later today once I get it home and those with more knowledge than me can tell me exactly what I have.
My wife doesn't quite understand my fascination with these old radios yet, but she is putting up with me so far. so once I get this one home my current inventory will be a 1929 Victor Console, 1934 60L Philco Console, 1940 Philco 158 Console, 1942 Philco 400X Console, 1947 Philco 1230 Radio/Phonograph Console and a 1950 Philco 1104 Television.
Every time I see one that I love the looks of and, can get cheaply, I want to get it and breathe new life into it. I guess it must be a sickness of some sort. I just hate to see an old treasure thrown into a trash heap when it can be given a second life and be around well after I'm gone.
