Old philco 8 band tube reciver?
OK I should probably be shot, but I passed on a Tabeltop model of a philco 8 band radio reciver today at a flea market. $25
Wood box, about 2' wide, 18" or so deep and the same tall. Speaker on the left, and tuning indicator on the right. the 8 bands were marked vertically. 5 or 6 control knobs, for on/off/tone (?) bands vol, tuning, radio/phono, and I cant remember the others Not too many tubes inside, it did have a full back with cloth covered vents that was held on with screws. The guy let me take it off to look inside. There was also an internal antenna which was a coil going several loops around the inside at the back, and it also had conections for an external antenna, as well as a telescopeing antenna at the right rear. The most serious defect was the finnish wasn't perfect, and one of the glass strips was broke with a piece missing... So what's the verdict, Hang me? or shoot me?
