What is your Pride & Joy radio? Owned or wanted...
#5

I would have to say my Philco 48-482 since i really like the style and this radio got me started in the hobby (it's the lower Philco). It cost $10 at the flea market and really cleaned up nice using nothing but a little Howard's. It was complete except it was missing 3 of the knobs. A very close second is my recently acquired late 30's vintage Pilot H220 tabletop (25" wide!). It's the only radio I have with a tuning eye and I think the style is very cool! Thanks to some forum members, I've ordered the correct knobs to replace the 2 center ones. Have not decided yet on a "dream radio" but I think a nice floor console of some sort with an FM band. I will see what comes along.
