Suddenly I have a whole herd of phonographs that I've aquired over the last few months. Two Edison cylinder types (a Home Model B and an Amberola 30) and a couple of days ago I found what appears to be a Philco 52-1340 combination radio/phonograph. It's in nice shape cosmetically and looks quite restorable..the plastic casing is in quite nice shape, with no breaks or anything, just minor scratches. It will need work electrically and a checkout mechanically.

Can someone Give me an idea as to the quality of these early 50's Philco units? It looks to be well built. I'm impressed with the plastic casting of it's case given it's size.

Thanks
Jeff
