I just took a quick inventory (actually just a count) and found that, much to my dismay, I have exactly 25 Philco radios in my collection, the earliest being a 1933, latest being a 1949. Three are consoles. I officially must have some sort of an illness, possibly Philcoitis, which I'm guessing is quite contagious. To help ease the symptoms, I'd like to hear from others with similar afflictions. Take inventory of how many Philco radios are in your collection and post the amount below. Twenty-five can't be all that many, can it?
