Philco 90
#3

Hi Greg,
Brought a 90 lowboy home this week myself.
Nice cabinet and of course it needs to be re-capped.
I think mine is the later model with the 47 tube.
Not sure if it has 1 or 2 of these. Have not pulled the chassis yet.
Have any useful info that would help a rookie like me?
Wonder what these are worth in working condition?
Have fun with yours.
Notice the bayonnet styl switch mounted in the back?
Not hooked up to anything. Someone must have had a problem with the switch in the past and since replaced it.

Just to make sure, you chose either 4 ohm into 5K or into 10K? (blk-org or blk-grn)morzh — 06:23 PM

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately the radio was removed before bidding was over so I didn't get a chance to bid.dconant — 04:10 PM
