Philco 60L
#5

I've always had a weak spot for the little console versions of the baby grand radios. I had tried for a while to get either a model 20 or 21 console because I liked how small they are and how they look, and then get a 20 or 21 Baby Grand to go with it. This radio was sitting right beside the 91X when I went back to buy it and I had already decided this little console was leaving with me as well. Icon_evil
I tested the tubes in it tonight and three out of five were good. The 42 had a dead short and the 78 had a burnt out filament. Luckily I had good replacements in my small stash of used tubes.
Thanks for the support. I will probably dive into this radio this fall if I can get a place with recone the speaker. Actually, the speaker looks the same as the one in my finickey model 89 cathedral. Hmm..

No matter where you go, there you are.
