New acquisition
#16

Very Nice!!!! I had the same model but it had a model 91 chassis and a big separate speaker with an incline speaker board w/two speakers. 91LZ maybe? Wish I still had it. Got to get motivate to get busy on my 370. Still enjoying the 87 alot.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!

I (belatedly) moved this topic to Philco Home Radios since we are discussing a Philco home radio. Icon_smile

Terry, the set you are describing is a 91RX:

The set in the Gallery photo is mine, and the cloth on the chairside unit is not original.

I had this plus an AM-only 19LZ before I moved to Ferdinand. Deciding that there was not enough room for both here, I sold the 19LZ and kept the 91RX because I see 19LZ sets come up for sale every so often, but up until then I had not heard of another 91RX other than an identical set in the collection of a friend of mine from whom I acquired this one.

My 91RX only has a single speaker. Yours was probably an early production model if it had two speakers.
