This is my Christmas present. It's a Philco 118MX, I think... It's in splendid condition. The cabinet is excellent and the chassis looks super clean. It still has the original long wire antenna attached to the back. The cabinet also has a back cover that is labeled "Philco Echo Absorbing Screen"
I have a couple of questions though, and I'll post them under the photos.
There are two switches on the upper back of the cabinet. One is made by Philco and appears to be an antenna switch to swap the antenna to different bands on the radio. I've never seen one of these. The other is a flip switch on the upper right back. It has two capacitors inside it. I have no idea what it controls. There is no input jack. Any ideas?
Also, there are two stickers on the cabinet.. one says model 118, the other 118MX, so I am assuming this is a 118MX, correct?
