Need help identifying old Philco mahogany cabinet.
#5

This cabinet was like the first TV that my family had when I was a kid. We got it in 1956 (was told to be a 1950 model) - it was used and the Philco dealer installed a new picture and installed a tall external antenna all for $100.00. The TV was on the left side and the radio and record changer was on the right side as viewed from the front. When the TV failed I removed the TV and radio part. I installed a newer type changer and amp and my mother used that until she died in 2006. I still have the two doors partly because of the wood and the other because of the many hours of enjoyment that it gave me.

The 5JP1 sounds like either like a military tube, or one built for some piece of older industrial equipment.Arran — 02:59 PM

Yes, in those it is. In 20/90 it is a metal spring that holds the rotor in the cradles of the outer walls.morzh — 01:39 PM

Nope it was the metal part. I got that off. In fact I took the whole thing apart. Pretty easy.dconant — 08:54 AM
