Anyone has heard of this Philco-Tropic Radio 41-714 before?

Well I think I have the final explanation about this Pilot/Philco radio... I've opened it and took out the motor and stuff and realised that someone in the past has put a Philco motor into a Pilot frame, but had to made some changes on the facade (including moving the knobs) so that it could work. As of today, the radio doesn't work anymore, but it's truly a beautiful object anyway!

ps: if you want some Pilot radios for very affordable prices, you should come to the second hand market of El Alto in Bolivia and will find many for a very cheap price!

Thanks all for your comments
