Philco 98 Export Set
#5

There are some UK Philco sets in Rider's - I don't know why since they would not have been available on this side of "the pond". Maybe John F. Rider just published everything Philco sent to him?

Regarding the rectangular escutcheon as opposed to the oval escutcheon, maybe UK Philco made model 98 available in both the 1935 and 1936 model years? Here in the USA, as you know, the similar model 97 was only available during the second half of the 1935 selling season before it was replaced by model 640 when the 1936 models first came out in May-June 1935.

And, yes, the UK 116PX would have been quite expensive there when new. Just imagine what the three versions of the 1938 Empire Twenty-Two (a modified version of the 37 or 38-690, with two extra tubes or "valves" and a phonograph, making the set a "radiogram") would have cost including taxes?
