Radiobar Chassis Model ?
#1

I just picked up a Radiobar and I'm curious as to which Philco chassis I have.  It's a 6-tube unit but the model number is worn off the sticker.  I can still read Code 121.  Here are some pics.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Most likely 620. Could be a 625, but only if it has the shadow mask behind the dial that moves when you change the band switch (and yours does not appear to have that). If no shadow mask, then definitely 620.

Just curious... which cabinet did you score? I've always had a thing for Radiobars, not that I'll ever be able to afford one for what they go for on the West Coast...

This was sitting in the back of a large truck at the flea market.  Owner was just getting ready to turn it and open the top so people could see it.

Oooh, nice. In pretty spiffy condition, too. I think I personally would live with the wear. Icon_smile

It mostly needs a good cleaning and the black trim area redone.  Top could use some refurbishing also.  The inside chromed areas are really nice as is the mirror.  Cabinet is solid.  Veneer is also in very good condition.  As for the glassware, I don't think I will try and piece together an original set.  I would just like to find a complete, vintage bar ware set that looks somewhat similar to the originals just to fill the holes.  Any recommendations?
