Philco 49-900 Black Version
#6

Keep hunting, those hippo sets are very common, if you see one on fleabay with a high three bill price, and a ridiculous number of bids there is a very good chance that it's being marketed by one of the infamous scam sellers with a shill bid team. Not that unrestored ones sold by more random sellers, without the team of shills bidding up the price, rarely go above the $50 mark and restored ones rarely over $100. I have two of these, both are Canadian versions, one is from 1946, the other from 1948. They were in production for four years with various circuit changes according to code number I would like to find an example of one of the successor models with the large rainbow shaped dial in the top.
Regards
Arran
