My Museum Quality Philco Console 37-690 Radio
#4

It is not more desirable, both are about the same value and are very close electronically. $4,000 is too much for this set but then who knows, maybe it is fully and properly restored and a right buyer will come along. I doubt he will be from this forum though. I have seen these on eBay go for close to 2,000 though having looked at the bidding I could not be sure there was no shill going on. I think for an unrestored set in good shape today it should be 700 to 1200. Fully restored - 1500 to whatever a customer who is after this very set is ready to pony up.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
