(10-08-2014, 02:27 PM)bsteach@sbcglobal.net Wrote:  I'm attempting to become familiar with a Philco Transitone clock radio that my family gave to me on the occasion of my 60th birthday. This is my first vintage radio. I had mentioned a casual interest in trying to locate a 1954 model year radio. Now I have one!
My question: Where do I start?
I did do a search for pictures of this era Philco radio. What I come up with is a Model #53-701X. The radio pictured seems to be very close to what I have, but not exactly. Should I be looking for something like a # 54-701X?
I'm wondering if anybody could help me to get started on my familiarity of this clock radio? Will I be able to locate an original set of directions for this radio?
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Bill Steach
