This is Philco related- Promise! Just read through...

I was shopping in JC Penney's this evening with my steady-Donna- and I noticed one of those "Retro-repro" radios with am/fm/cd/turntable and who knows what else. I noticed behind the display of the radio, boxes of small tables for them. An interesting looking table, I contemplated the use of one, not for the retro-repro, but as a record holding base for my 1929 RCA Victrola portable. As I looked at the picture on the box, the design of the logo piece caught my eye. A round disk, with some dark gold trim, some divergent lines going vertically from left of center, and a "globe like gridlines, and info in a curved section in the middle. Taking a closer look, I realized I was looking at the dial of my 1937 Philco 37-650! A virtually identical photo, with the changes made for the new product! They had the same one on the retro-repro radio. I found this very interesting, and wish I had a picture to post of it.

I didn't buy the table- I figured I'd rather have an original...lol
