Found this on the local craigslist. It's missing the small skirted knob, the grill cloth has been replaced with burlap Icon_smile

and the speaker may need re-coned. Might be repairable, but it has 2 good holes in it.

I may have paid too much ($149) but big Philco cathedrals are hard to find around here. And I love the way the grain on the face looks. I think it's purdy! Icon_smile
