Info on Philco 91D Highboy
#1

I was recently gifted an antique radio by my parents, and I'm trying to find more information about what it's worth and if / how I should go about restoring it.

From the small bit of research I did - I found that it is a Philco 19D Highboy. It does power up, however can't get it to tune (not sure if this is user error). I do know it has a newer antenna attached, not sure if that's the issue. It's in pretty fair condition but has scratches and some peeling on the veneer.

Photos are attached, any input or advice is greatly appreciated!
