Got a line on a 39-17 tabletop. The wife found it in a local antique shop. They're asking $39.00 (why not just ask 40???) She offered them $20.00 and of course they had to call the owner first. Couldn't get a reply so maybe today. She said it looked pretty good and "made static noise" when turned on. I figure if you get static without an antenna, you're well on your way. Any background on this set? She says it needs dial cover glass (plastic) which I have already located. I have heard this is kind of a scarce model??? Looks different with the pushbuttons on top and the knobs on the side. This would be my 4th Philco if I buy so it looks like I'm becoming a Philco collector. Icon_biggrin
