Description

Imagine the programming this radio brought into its owners' homes: FDR's Fireside Chats, news of the attack on Pearl Harbor as well as the victories of World War II. The voices of Ed Murrow, Joseph C. Harsch, Orson Welles -- the Whiz Kids, The Shadow, Bill Haley and the Comets, JFK's speeches ... This set was around to bring it all home! And it delivers the rich sound that only a tube radio can produce!


Just this year it was cleaned up internally, with circuits checked and repaired and a full set of new capacitors installed. This 1941 Philco radio, conservatively valued at $350, is ready to delight generations of listeners in your family, with your high bid.
