Philco 40-140 my wife bought
#5

I agree, that's not a bad price, I likely would have picked it up for that as well. At least whomever priced it took the cosmetics into account like the finish and the dial bubble. On that usual auction site people seem to pay too much for those, given what they are. I personally don't care for the styling of those, even for a an early 40s Philco they are somewhat uninspired, in my opinion they look too much like a bread box or a toaster in form. I think that the sloped panel sets like the 40-150 are much more appealing.
Regards
Arran
