Got a new Philco

[Charlie]

The Philco 60 I bought while my ship was in Washington State finally made it home! When I bought it, I decided to leave it on the ship until it got here to Texas. I got off the ship in California, and didn't feel like taking the radio on the plane to come home. So, this old Philco took a long ride from Washington to Calif to Panama to Texas by sea and is now sitting in my living room next to a model 84.

This radio is extremely impressive! It was rewired by someone in Canada (according to what the shop owner told me). They really did a great job as this set plays like new and without a single flaw in it's sound! Pulls in stations with no problems.

The set is really nice inside and out. The speaker cloth looks a little funky in the photo... but looks much better in person. The cloth's finish is a little bit shiny, so the camera flash really brings that out. The insides are super-clean as well.
