Made a few radio finds today!
#1

I bumped into an antique dealer friend of mine today and came home with a couple radios. The first is a Philco 46-1201 'Bing Crosby' that I got for $20. All complete except the dial cord has broken and the dial pointer has obviously fallen out a long time ago. So, will need to replace that. Actually was in better shape than I thought after an intial cleaning.
The second radio is an unknown Arvin console I got for free. Cabinet is decent and the chassis is there, but it is missing the knobs and the speaker.
The final item I got for free is a nice dial glass off an RCA radio that had the 'racetrack' type of dial. I snagged it as it was falling to the floor and he said it would be safer with me.

   

   

No matter where you go, there you are.
