Well if you want to know the down side (to me) about the 60. Philco made about a billion of them not that I'm always looking for something rare but there everywhere. Bad coils (not a big deal) Poor SW coverage (66 is much better). I think as I get older I like working on set that are a bit more of challenge/w better performance. No rf amp and one IF amp.
Is it a bad radio of course not just a fairly basic superhet. And do like 80,81, and 84's. It also maybe the first Philco to use a pentigrid converter. I'm sure Ron would know.
Also bear in mind I've been doing radio for almost 50yrs
