Philco 40-216 pricing
#2

Greetings from South Florida. For what it's worth, I have picked up a console in realy rough shape @ $50 and a table top in realy decent shape for $10. There should be a remote control with that one i think. No, don't plug it in, you know why . All these old radios need to be electronicaly restored if not already, that's a given. If your new to the phorum give a good look around as the information and wisdom found here is priceless. I come from a TV/ Radio repair backround and yet this is in my opinion the best resource available for radio restoration in general. Obviosly price tends to be what the market will bear kind of value so get haggling. I'm sure it will wind up as a personal treasure!
