I took my dad up to see a salvage, scrap, and resale place I was introduced to when I bought those Apple IIe computers and the GE and Westinghouse radios a couple weeks back. My dad was in heaven of course and I stumbled on what the owner said to be a 1949 Philco TV-Radio-Phono console. Looked to be complete except the record compartment door was off (it was there) and he claimed to have the manual to it. Looked to be a 10 or maybe 12 inch TV in there and the unit looked like it would clean up nice. I DID ask a price and he wanted $100 for it and I had to pass. Still wish I had my camera with me as I would have liked to know what model it was. Had a nice look to the cabinet design for that vintage.
No matter where you go, there you are.
