1936 Philco Model 604
#16

Ian,

Nice, glad you found one. I picked up mine at my 1st Radio swap meet in Turlock, CA in October 2015. It took me several months to get it up and running (I documented it here on the Phorum). I believe it was marked $120-125, and I offered $100, and they took it. There was no cord on it, so I knew it would need work. I liked the design, and had heard they were hard to come by. Mine is the 1936 version, like yours.
I got the radio up and running, but have yet to do the cabinet restoration.....

Blessings,

What a beautiful website! You must tell me the name of the font you used. Glad you found one.

Hi Jeff,
Under your 116PX page you state that it uses the same chassis as the 116B, not so much it's a 116X chassis.
Not criticism but a heads up.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!

Thanks for pointing that out Icon_thumbup . I discovered that in some research, and haven't gotten around to fixing it yet.

Ian,

Thanks for the comment on my site.
Fonts used on the website are:
Day Poster Black
Seaside Resort

The font used on the images of the Radios is Dubba Dubba NF
