Philco Tropic missing "foot"
#1

Hi,

I have a Philco Tropic model 95 but have sadly lost the "foot" of the cabinet when moving. Any idea what this is called and where I could purchase a replacement? Ideally online as I am based in the UK.

Thanks in advance,

Elena

Hi and Welcome,
Glad you stopped by. It may be easier to replace all 4 than try to match just one. It's a good chance that your foot was made in the UK. I looked around on google and found these  https://www.google.com/search?client=fir...cSFN5eQWaA  You might try here: https://www.vintage-radio.net/forum/foru...y.php?f=21 it's a bit closer to home.
OBTW if it's not too much of a bother I'm sure the Phorum love to have a few pics of your 95 for it's UK archive. Here in the states the model 95 is an early console model from 1929.

Best of luck

figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
