Flea Market Philco 630 Tombstone
#1

It was either get up super early and drive to a Sacramento auto parts
swap meet or sleep in a little and hit the local flea markets. I was lazy so chose the latter. Besides, weather is beautiful and flea markets were predicted to be full. Sure glad I went as this is what I came across on the 2nd pass. Wood is in very good condition and just needs a refinish. Grill cloth is also wasted. Chassis looks complete and rust free, just a little dusty. Even comes with a VERY LONG antenna coiled up inside! I like the tuning mechanism with the "fine tuning" feature. My first (but maybe not my last) tombstone radio!
