Unusual Philco 42-123

It's right there where I said...

Philco Furniture History.

I have a photocopy of the pages of Philco Furniture History from 1928 through 1949. I really regret not getting photocopies of later models when I had the chance to do so. Oh well, having the 1928-1949 models has been a big help.

What is Philco Furniture History?

It was an in-house document put together by Philco documenting (almost) all of their radio cabinets. It (usually) includes name of designer, size and weight specifications, cabinet cost, radio's original selling price, and production figures. Not all models have all of the specifications included, and there are some cabinets which were never produced (and marked as such). Also, there are a few cabinets which are obviously legitimate which are not listed in this document, so it is not perfect but is an excellent resource for documenting Philcos sets.

I began to use the information from this when I redid the photo gallery of Philcoradio.com several years ago. That is, information such as production figures. If there is a demand for the rest of the information, I may try to make that happen but that will be a huge job.

If you look in The Tropics section of the website at each individual Tropic model I have listed, you will see more complete information from Philco Furniture History. This served as a prototype of what I wanted to do with the Gallery at the time but I simply have not had the time to make that happen.
