My Museum Quality Philco Console 37-690 Radio

You might have problems getting 4K out of it with the way the economy is today, but if you find the right buyer anything is possible...... Good luck!

EGAD Elliot!! I had the wrong model. Mine is the rarer and more refined looking 37-690. I sure HOPE that is more desirable. The one on ebay sure does look lovely and I will follow it with interest. I will surely have to take some kind of loss on mine, but if a true collector sees the finish it should add to the positive "points" it has. Thanks for allowing me the correction!!  Sam
