Estate sale find: Philco 48-1256
#18

A friend left a Philco 48-1256 in back of my truck that she had found that someone had thrown out. I restored it- New gromets on the motor mount and the base platform for the phonograph, Put in a new speaker, soldered a few wires for the radio. Restored the finish on the cabinet. Put new stickum paper on the platform for the phonograph. Put in a new radio dial turning cable. Cleaned out the spider webs. It looks good, it turns on. But all I get is a loud buzzing on the speaker whether radio or phonograph is turned on. I haven't gotten a record to try the phonograph yet. And I need to hook up to an antenna for the radio to pick up any station. A puzzling thing is there is no volume control. How much do you think it will be worth in good condition?
