I recently purchased a Philco model 48-482 AM/FM/SW table model radio in non-working condition. The cabinet looked pretty darned good. But I found a rat's nest inside and evidence of rat urine on top of the chassis. Underneath, the chassis looked very good. I now have the radio working pretty well. But, there is much left to be done--especially the cabinet. Anyway, my question is: "Is this the first Philco radio to incorporate the FM feature?" BTW, I also am looking for a loudspeaker for this set--5x7 inch oval.
Thanks for any help.
