Hi David,

Another Phorum member who happens to also live in NZ recently sent me a picture of a New Zealand Philcophone - this was just the remote speaker. It was very, very different from any USA Philcophone remotes. I suspect the master unit is also very different. Both were probably manufactured by DRECO for Philco. As I recall, from 1938-39 onward all radios sold in NZ under the Philco name were actually made by DRECO.

Does the NZVRS have any old DRECO/Philco service information? It certainly would not be available here in the USA, unfortunately.
