My Museum Quality Philco Console 37-690 Radio

No, Sam, 50-1721 is indeed a 1950 model. The 50- indicates 1950 model year.

I will be there. I see you're in the main pavilion this time; which table? I will look you up. Oh, and in May I saw quite a few stereo receivers along with the older radios. I've said it before, I think early stereo gear is becoming the "new" antique radio gear.
