Philco 40-145?
#2

I wish you would have asked about that set before you bid, for one thing the metal bezel that holds the calls station tabs is missing, it also appears that the finish has flaked off the top and the joints between the veneer sheets are opening up, that means possible water damage.
What I could never understand about these sets is the appeal, the chassis are fairly medeocre, 5 or 6 tubes, and the cabinets are rather dull and uninspired compared to other Philco table sets from the same period. At least this one has three bands on it so it isn't too bad, but the cabinets always remind me of an old toaster or a steel bread box.
Regards
Arran
