1949 philco need help restoring
#2

As for restoration, which will involve servicing/restoring the record player and possibly rewiring the chassis (rubber jacketed wire, most likely will crumble, most 1960-s Philco are like this), with possible dealing with FM tubes that may or may not be readily available (with enough prayers they might be good; mine was, even though mine is FM1000, made of unobtanium....)...all this, it will be involved process, though the result might be nice.

As for the price, this one I have not seen much, so if properly restored and the right buyer comes along, quite possible. Consoles are not very popular, but if someone specifically wants a console with FM and a changer, and it is in fully working shape, I do not see why that rare someone would not pay at least $200 for it, considering the trouble it takes to bring it to working shape.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
