Why so many Philcos?
#2

Yes. a lot of sets made, and yes, price point and value and pretty well made and good performers even today when properly maintained. I reckon they had pretty good distribution in the US and Canada, and also had export partners elsewhere.

So you can get a common old Philco set for a few dollars and have some fun and keep your mind active whilst restoring it, and if you are extremely lucky, you might break even if you wish to sell it in the future. The kids don't want it, trust me.
