Simple... eye candy and the shutter dial is pretty cool. No bakelite block capacitors and the chassis is less crowded and easier to work on. While I agree that Philco radios are probably better engineered and may even sound better then Brand Z (but I suppose there are people that will debate that) the cabinet designs leave a little bit to be desired IMHO. But that didn't stop me from picking up the 37-116 a few weeks back. I'm looking forward to working on that one!
Any help I can offer on your 9S262 just let me know.
- Geoff I agree, great looking radio's.
I have a 10 tuber zenith console that sounds better than most.
I find them easier to work on as well. Fat fingers I guess.
I have sold quite a few consoles, and people always flock to the zenith's.
The Philco's will take much longer to sell.
I have many other brands too that are as handsome as the zenith's.
Trying to get away from the most common models which are plentiful, and stick with the more hard to find and unusual models.
Merry x-mas to everyone and happy new year.
Very sorry to hear about your grandchild Ron.
Very sorry for your loss. I am sure they will enjoy the zenith. Will have a special place in their hearts for sure.
