Philco Tropic Model 42-760T
#14

Arran

Oh yes, sorry, it did arrive and in one piece, too. No damage to the dial scale, fortunately!

A couple quick pictures:

As you can see, it is going to need complete and comprehensive restoration work. It is missing a tube or two, and the back is also missing. I do have the knobs, by the way. I think I have some grille cloth, removed from a 1946 or 1947 Philco junk console, that is the same pattern as what is in this set but only cleaner. I may (or may not) utilize it in this radio.
