Help identify my philco
#1

Hello,

Does anyone know what model this is or any other information?

Thank you in advance,
Sal

Welcome to the Phorum! Could you possibly provide photos of the chassis? That would help identifying what model radio, anyway. I'm leaning toward it being a model 20 chassis based on what looks like the three operating knobs and the escuteon. Appears to have been cobbled into another makers cabinet, and not a bad job with the exception of the glaring red indicator bezel. Take care and BE HEALTHY! Gary

On first look the tuning knob is correct for a model 20, but the on/off and volume knobs are not. What are what look like black checkers on each side? The escuteon is a model 20, but would benefit with a brass screw instead of the sheet metal screw now attaching it. Others can jump in on the possible cabinet maker. Definite has the looks of a "Franken-Philco". Take care and BE HEALTHY! Gary

Hi Sal,

Sorry to say that Gary is right. It's either a Philco model 20 or 21, in another manufacturers cabinet.

The cabinet looks like it belonged to a FADA lowboy of 1930-31 vintage, regardless someone added an adapter plate to the front panel to accommodate the different knob locations of the replacement chassis.

To spc091:

Please post a back view of the set so we may see what is inside. Thanks.
