Is this Philco 42-400 worth anything?
#5

The radio itself has no sentimental value for me. It may have had more for my father who passed last year. But for me it has none. I took it more from a possible sales perspective than any desire to keep it myself. It was either I took it or it went into a dumpster. I just was hoping to get some feel for the value before I offerred it up for sale. Never like the idea of selling something worth a lot for a pittance so someone else can get rich from my mistake. So I try to investigate the value of things before selling.

I have enough projects around the house not of the antique variety to even think about attempting to restore this radio. Icon_smile

Thanks for the feedback.
