1929 model 76 lowboy with tapestry
#1

Hello everyone,
New member here and new to radio restoration...We have 2 Philco's so far. Icon_thumbup The other day we came across a very nice original model 76 lowboy from 1929 with the open tapestry. This Philco belonged to a very old woman. The cabinet has a few small scratches on one side.The gentleman says it works after it warms up for about 5 minutes. I really didn't want him to plug it in at the time,so I don't know if it works and what work has been done to it. What do you think is a fair price for this? My wife and like it very much. Here is a picture of it with a older flip cell phone.

Note from site admin: Sorry, but the photo which was attached to this post is no longer available.
