It was in poor condition, no grill cloth, bad finish decay, chipping veneer, broken dial glass, etc. when I was picking up a Truetone D1952 console I had bought.

What caught my eye (other than the very small chassis/very tall cabinet with inclined dial board) was what appears to be AM and longwave only dial coverage.

Anyone familiar with this one? Sorry no photos, didn't have the time or a camera handy.

More on the non-Philco radio later.

Thanks,

Mike

P.S.

Found out a little more about it today. Looks like this was a farm style battery powered console. Strange, but that fits for where I saw it. No interest in it and it showed up on CL today it looks like:
