Road Trip for a Philco 46-480
#1

Well, folks, I’ve made an offer on a 46-480 and the gentleman selling it has accepted! I’m going to Kansas tomorrow to get it. It’s been in a storage building for some time now, and it will need some serious restoration to the cabinet. But I am willing to see how far I can go to breathe some fresh life into it! It’s going to be about a four-and-a-half hour drive each way, so this is going to be a day trip. The guy selling it has several others, and I’m pretty excited to see them. But my heart is set on the 46-480.

Nice, !946 FM, should be fun. Maybe darken the trim a little so it's not so mono. Have fun with this one.

Nice grab! The cabinet is a close copy of my 40-180 and my 41-280 consoles. Guess the apple didn't fall far from the tree! Take care and BE HEALTHY! Gary
