Philco 71B Code 125 with Shadow Meter Info
#21

I must have missed Ron's reply of 5/11/2019 while I was composing my own, and only just spotted it now, on the 26th of May. Yes. The shield being rusted completely to the base is definitely possible with this chassis, and would seem to explain one more indignity suffered by this unfortunate radio! (Or fortunate since I'm still new enough to the hobby to spend way more time and effort than a 71B is worth, just to save it.)

Soon it will be playing again, and will fit in with the other Philcos without anyone thinking it's a freak (unless they take a close look at the speaker).

"Why, the tubes alone are worth more than that!" (Heard at every swap meet. Gets me every time!)

Philcos: 90, 70, 71B, 610, 37-61 40-81, 46-420 Code 121 to name a few.
Plus enough Zeniths, Atwater Kents and others to trip over!
