Philco 118MX scored
#1

I finally had a chance to head down south and check out the 118MX we were discussing in Items for Sale. I ended up paying $60 for it.
The bottom has suffered some nasty water damage and lost some trim and veneer, but otherwise I think it looks pretty good.

I'm a little worried that they had used it a few times in the recent past until it stopped working. Hopefully nothing is burned out.

Note the sound screen is on upside-down.

Missing molding.

I hope the Shadow Meter is good.

The echo-absorbing screen has suffered a little damage, but I do have the broken out bits. Maybe it can glued back together ? At least the label is in excellent condition.
