Just picked up a 45C "Butterfly", and started doing a bit of preliminary checks tonight. Looks all original except the electrolytics were changed out sometime in the past.
When I pulled the chassis, I noticed a stamping on the back of the chassis marking "Property of P.R.&T. Corp".
Im a bit slow, but after a while, I realized that this must stand for Philco Radio & Television Corporation.
Ive never seen a radio marked this way. Maybe it was a set that sat in someone's office in the corporate building?
Anyone else ever seen sets marked this way?
Probably no big deal, but its interesting!
The serial no. is C86915. Now, it would really be cool if it was serial no. 1!
So far, everything checks out ok. Lots of dust and a rusted up trans bell, but pretty good shape underneath.
