Rare Philcos?
#1

What, in your opinion, would be the top 5 or so rarest finds as far as Philcos from the 1930's to the early 40's? I'm curious so that when I'm out scouring the universe for "new" stuff, I'll know if I stumble upon something noteworthy. As an example, I own a restored Model 18X. The knowledge base (fall 1933) says approx 27,000 of these were made but that those figures included the 14X, the 1934 16X, 18X, 49X, 118X, and 144X. So, I would assume that nearly 80 years later that given those numbers, and accounting for attrition, that particular model would be fairly "rare" and desireable at least as far as Philcos go. Just wondering.
