Saved a 12" sentinel today. It has an excellent 12LP4. Probably a replacement. National Union branded. This set reminds me of a philco from the front. Has that olive green screen surround and also the typical Philco antenna tuning knob in a routed out groove in the top front of the set cabinet. Set appears to be mostly unmolested inside and in very nice rust free condition. (just a heavy layer of dust) Probably stored in a nice dry attic. Paid $60. I am not very good at dickering on price.
EDIT: forgot to mention that I got this from the grandson of the original owner. He said that he has a photo of the set back when it was in opperation with his grandpa. He said he would scan it and send it to me. I hope he sends it because it would be nice to add to the collection from a standpoint of provenance.
