Philco 20 Donated Finished
#1

I just had a Philco 20 donated to the museum by the Talent OR Historical Soc. I guess I'll be putting on a presentation on old radios there in late Nov or Dec. How could I say no when they were holding a 20 with an almost perfect grill. Just a little veneer gone, and a little around the edges.

Not so funny though, it has a 380 intact, but I pulled out both of the ST 71s and one of the heater pins just snapped off. I haven't looked under the chassis yet. The top has a little rust & mouse poop, but I never had a pin corrode off.

Well see.
