Another Philco followed me home.
#1

I was wandering the antique mall yesterday when I laid eyes on a nice looking Philco 46-1203 radio-phono unit. I had one of these units a few years ago, but the cabinet was banged up and I just didn't have interest in it at the time. This unit has a nice cabinet and is clean as a pin inside. Price was right and since I regretted letting go of my other one, I bought the radio. The tag said it hummed and yes indeed, it does to that! Got a faint channel though and at least I can hear audio on this set. The last one I had lit up, but no-one was home. I figure this unit will need recapped, a new cord, and the phonograph gone over as it turns really slow. I wonder, is it possible to get these changers to work properly? I can hardly get the person who redoes my radios to touch this type of Philco changer. Got a similar one in my 47-1230 console.

No matter where you go, there you are.
