SOME COMMON QUESTIONS ANSWERED

   Please read through this page before ordering service information or contacting us. There may be an answer to your question or a link to find what you're looking for on this page or other sources on the internet. Thank you.

Do you have Philco TV, VCR, stereo, CD Players or appliance service info?

   The short answer is no, sorry. This website is dedicated to antique Philco radios from the 1928 through 1947 time period. I do not have any information on antique television or tv, Predicta tv, stereo or stereophonic systems, Philco vintage music system, retro turntables, jukeboxes, recorders, CD players, DVD players, VCR's, tape recorders, clock radios, microwave ovens, stoves, air conditioners, dehumidifiers, kitchen appliances, refrigerators, washing machines, washer/dryers, IR or infrared remote codes, phonograph needles or Philco-Ford products.

Here are a few links to other consumer type products which may carry the Philco brand name now:

•  Philips Consumer Electronics (Philco products made from 1980 to the 1990s)

•  Philco Music System (the modern reproduction radio/record/cassette/CD players)

•  Philco Predicta Television (website for technical support and parts)

•  50's Philco Predicta.Com Predicta Repair & Restoration

I'm looking for Atwater-Kent, Stewart-Warner, Belmont, FADA, Sivlertone, Airline, Westinghouse, Emerson, Magnavox, Crosley, RCA, Motorola, Zenith, etc. radio information. Do you supply this also?

   No I do not, sorry. There is no information on other radio manufacturers on my website. I only have PHILCO service information. For radios other than Philco, or Philco radios later than 1947, try searching these two good websites:

•  Radio Era Archives, Schematics, books & manuals on CD-ROM.

•  Antique Radios.Com, The Collector's resource. http://antiqueradios.com

•  Nostalgia Air (Schematics, tube info, manuals, tech forum.)

•  Atwater Kent (Service Manuals, sales literature, gallery, and more.) NEW SITE!

Do you have Philco transistor radio service data?

   I only have Philco tube type radio information.
   Try inquiring at the Nostalgia Air or AntiqueRadios.Com websites directly above.

I have a Philco Model "xxx". Can you tell me what it's worth?

   There are so many variables to consider when determining a radios value that it is very difficult to pin down a dollar amount. Auction websites are a very BAD place to get an idea of value as bidding skews any actual values. You can get a general idea of approximate worth, however, from either of these two sites:

• Philco Radio.Com  Philco Radio.Com  (Value Guide Page)

• AntiqueRadios.Com, Value Guide at: Radios from 1920-1950.
