Philco Model 212, want advice on value and restoration potential
#2

Hi

First of all, where are you located? "United States" is way too vague. Please change your profile to include (just) a city and state, it will make it easier to help you find a buyer for your set. Thanks.

Man, it's a real shame that the cloth front is worn off around the tuning, volume, and off-on controls. Plus, three of the four knobs are not original, and the one knob that is original (on the off-on switch) should be on either the volume or the tone control.

Is the turntable (platter) missing from the Capehart changer? I did not look at all of the photos, but the ones I did look at, I did not see the platter.

That would be a great addition to someone's collection, assuming the missing parts for the Capehart changer can be found.
