I'm tied with Doug at 85 Philcos. I plan to thin the herd a little more, and hope to eventually cut the total (Philco, Scott, McMurdo and the one and only Zenith, a Super VIII) to 50 or less.
Oldest Philco sets are two "511 series" metal table models - a 512 Mandarin Red with the paint in poor shape, and a 511 repainted to look like a 515 Impressionistic. Also a 1928 "Console Grand" speaker table.
Newest? Hmmm...That honor would go to my two UK-made Tropic sets, which appear to be no older than mid-1950s.
