Philco's most expensive radio
#3

Ron there is nothing wrong with being a "catfish" (bottom dweller) some radios with a little elbow grease turn out looking like the high dollar ones. Most I have paid is $190 for a 38-2 because it is a rarer set and I wanted it, should have done the buy it now and would have saved myself about 40 dollars. Click the link and it shows it before and during restoration.
