Model TH-1 Investigation solved!!!
#1

Last May while in Kutztown I scored another rare radio that looked suspiciously like a Philco. Since I knew that Philco bought Simplex in the late 30's I decided to buy it. (the fact it was only $10 helped) I was to find out later that this little guy was a true missing link. I decided to dig it out of my "awaiting attention area" to do some research for an upcoming presentation on clone radios for my radio club (Delaware Valley Historic Radio Club) near Philly. Of course Ron's site answered all my questions but it still left a somewhat rhetorical question, "Was the TH-1 a Simplex designed set. I present exhibit "A", a radio that is the exact match to a TH-1 with a Simplex dial.
