How rare is the 1st version model 18X?
#3

Well Larry,

Philco made 27,000 of those cabinets. Of that total, they were shared between models 14X, 16X and 18X as well as the following year's (1935 season) 18X, 49X, 118X and 144X.

Of those models, I would guess that the lowest number made would be 49X followed by 16X.

Then, assuming a 30% survival rate (again, guessing)...which would be 8,100 total of all seven model versions...

One thing is clear: Philcos in this cabinet style are not exactly common. Icon_smile
