Hello!

My name is Juan and i am from Spain.
And new to the forum.

I have some valve radios and two of them are Phico, a 54C and a 84B.
I want to tell you that your threads has been very usefull to me
because the two Philcos are repaired and working after replacing resistors, capacitors,
new tubes, two coils rewounded ...,   perhaps they need a little touch yet, but not too much.

Thank you

Pd. I do apologise about my english, i haven’t wrote in english since twenty years ago and I don’t use on line translators.

Weekend at last!

Well, in Spain there was some small brands, and there were too
many workshops that make their own radios, legally.
Many times, those 40's and 50's radios from different brands and workshops, seems kits because they use the same cabinet (cheap radio).
They have too a plate with serial number, a warning trademark and the "lux" tax.
And i have one or two that have no plate from origin, it was a more cheap radio, but imagine the origin

And there was other radios "made in Spain" with licence from other european countries,
like Philips and Tekefunken since the early 20's and 30's. Those was more expensive.
USA's first brands came too at 30's, but the spanish civil war broke the relationship
For that reason there are so few USA radios fron those years in Spain, and survived until now.
I haven't seen yet an spanish Philco.

To have a radio became popular too late, at middle 50's.
Before, it was a luxury that only could have some.

Tomorrow i wil post in "non Philcos" some pics of a curious spanish 40's radio.
This brand used the same cabinet (i think this brand was the only owner's dessing of this cabinet) for different models with different circuits and tubes (AC-DC, AC, rimlock tubes, transcontinentals, even with tubes like 42, 80, ... ).
