Hi Glenn

Do you already own a Model 17 Code 125? If so, then yes...it would definitely be worthwhile. I, for one, would like to know how the pushbutton mechanism hooks up into the chassis, and if the chassis is indeed like the 38-15/38-17 with the addition of pushbuttons.

Is the wiring in yours rubber-covered?

Don't expect super high fidelity sound from this model, but with what looks like an S series Philco speaker, it should sound pretty decent.

There is one for sale on eBay right now, in Columbus, Ohio.

So, they are slowly coming out of the woodwork. And I still have yet to find any documentation on this model. Jim Skinner, Larry Gubb, et al. must be laughing at me somewhere.
