Philco Model 42-1012
#1

Hi. My great aunt gave me this Philco radio/record player a few years ago. I've been holding on to it because I thought it was pretty cool. It works but needs a few new bulbs. I can't really "tune" into a station real well. It's sort of static like. I have no idea what I inherited from her. One day, she went into her attick and the next day she gave the radio to me. She told me it was her brother-in-law's and that she had stored it in the attic for years and years after he passed away. I'm not a collector so I don't know it's value. The conition of the consol is pretty good. There is a few nicks on the top. The top of that lid that opens to display the radio knobs that is. Other wise, it looks pretty good for it's age and the turn table turns and I believe that it is in good working order. Is this a collectible or just something old that's pretty cool?
