Found My Philco Holy Grail!! A 201X
#1

Today is a GREAT day! I found a Philco that I actually never thought would be possible to do. A 1935 201X! My avatar is a 200x which is what I saw on CL couple of years ago and didn't go after. I do like the cabinet on the 200x a lot, but the 201x has BOTH broadcast and shortwave, which is a big bonus in my eyes. Here is the baby just as I found it. The sound absorbing screen on the back got damaged in the move, but I have the pieces and I believe I can make it whole again.

Overall, the cabinet is is nice condition with some scratches, marks, etc. but I will first see how good I can make it look and then reassess. One can cap is gone, but I don't see that as a major issue. The dial scale is all there and intact as far as I can see. No hole in the speaker. I am really glad the grille cloth is available.
