(taking a long, deep breath and counting to ten) Icon_rolleyes

Let me say it again - there is no such Philco model as a 39-6294. And I don't give a D**n what author says so in which book - THEY ARE WRONG!!!

And I will repeat, that 39-6294 is the part number of the tube layout sticker, not the set's model number.

If the chassis is marked 40-124, it is a 40-124. Period, end of story.

I apologize for the Savage-style rant, but H**l, I've only spent over 20 years studying Philco. What do I know. Icon_rolleyes
