Philco 37-116X What's The Price Point?
#10

Small veneer chip on the top. I don't know who told him it's worth a lot more, but I agree that consoles are harder to sell. I had trouble GIVING one away! The chassis sounds somewhat intimidating to me also.

Maybe I should go look at an RCA K130 instead. That's $150 and a lot closer.

Hi Gene,
Just did a K130.
Lots of bad rubber coated wires to replace in those.
Nice looking and sounding radio when it was done though.
I like the adjustable antenna in these.
