Thanks for the information Ron. I guess what makes the 322 a little special for me is that it was my first Philco. I am intrigued by the high tube count big boys from the 30's though have yet to get my hands on one. I do have a 38-93, 5 tube with transformer which sounds pretty good. I have a 45L being worked on now and a 42-355 which I guess is pretty much a console style chassis in a large table model. The 355 has grille cloth which is this funky stuff with almost a corduroy look on it,maybe original, very cool. As you can see I have been getting a little enamored with Philco. Most of my other sets are Zeniths or RCA.

It seems from everything I have read that the 30's were the true heyday of Philco.

Regards. Icon_biggrin
