Hey everyone,
There is a listing on Craigslist for what the owner says is a Philco 40-215. not too far from me. I'm not normally into Philcos of this period, but have been thinking I would like to get one with the "Mystery Control". Is this set one that would have it? The seller makes no mention of a control unit, so I don't think it has one. If it is a mystery control model, will any other control unit work with it? I would also like to get anyones opinion of what a fair offer would be? The seller is asking $200 but says price is not firm. It looks to be in fair condition, although it looks like it might be missing some veneer on the front. I might be interested in it and would like to make an offer, but not sure where to start on this one. Any input or opinions on this set would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Kevin
