Advice needed on value of 40-165 radio
#1

I have a Philco 40-165 radio that I got at a garage sale 20+ years ago. We are going to be downsizing and I have no idea what this radio is worth. It does play but has some vaneer damage (slight). Is there some sort of guide book? I've attached some pictures - maybe that will help. Thanks for any help you can give!

Note from site admin: Sorry, but the photos which were attached to this post are no longer available.

You have a model 40-165K console ..~25,000 made..not too difficult to find and probably not very valuable except to a collector looking for this particular model. Your radio does appear to be in excellent condition however. Maybe $50-$75? There was also a model 40-165F produced with about 5,000 sold but still not real difficult to find and not real valuable unless it was a family heirloom. A nearby collector may wish to have it however.
Click on the large blue PHILCO above and go to the Knowledge Gallery to view the radios.

I'd try replacing the bulb first and if that doesn't do it, then change the 35Z5 and see if the problem goes away.NostalgiaRadioTime — 12:28 AM
