Persistance Pays Off!
#1

After a couple weeks of no responses to my emails and phone calls, I decided to stop in personally at the shop in Barberton to see if the Philco A-361 console was still there. Turns out the shop had changed hands and the Philco was still there and priced $50 lower than it had been in the ad! So, I snagged a nice Philco A-361 console that seems to check out on transformer and even picks up a few stations when brought up on reduced power. Shows plenty of good signs. Cabinet does have a few blemishes, including a crack above the dial that seems caused by poor wood. Speaker looks good except one spot I repaired at the edge of the cone. Actually looked like the paper was simply too thin and wore away over the years. I think with a recap, and a good realignment, this will be a nice set from a unique time in radio history. Chuck: Do you have any paper work on this model I can order?

P.S. The one picture came out dark and grainy, I don't know why. Radio looks better than that!

   

   

No matter where you go, there you are.
