Well, after my trip to Rogers Flea Market turned into a bust and since I go right past my friend's place on the way there anyways, I stopped in and ultimately bought the 87 lowboy for $50. It is currently in my bedroom and I am listening to it as I post this message. Works pretty darn good, though will need a dial light bulb and the grill needs repair. We found some of the grill parts laying in the speaker, so that's a start. Also, I think that the cord will need replaced later. Still, $50 for a working Philco with an otherwise good cabinet is not bad! Icon_smile
No matter where you go, there you are.
