Phonograph with Philco by Radiobar
#1

I just got an offer to buy a Radiobar 38-3-3xx "Georgian". That's a Philco chassis, Capehart phonograph, in a Radiobar cabinet (according to Ron's site). What do you guys think? And value completely restored?

Does it have the original glassware with it? That would make a difference on the value.

Not a Radio Bar, but made by Radiobar. Here's a link: http://www.philcoradio.com/gallery/1938b.htm

Some day, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, accept this justice as a gift

I would jump on it if the price was right. You rarely see one of those sets in the wild.

He'll take $70.

You actually bargainning? Go grab it before we fly across the States and do it.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

It's all in the gift of gab, I guess. I sold him a restored 40-180 today, and he's driving 5 hours 1 way to pick it up, and deliver the Radiobar. He also has an extra chassis for it that he's giving me, as well as a Zenith Shutterdial chassis and a couple of others. These things never happen to me.

Holy Cow ! Sounds like your lucky day ! I'll look forward to seeing some "before" pictures, and to following your restoration work.

Well, I am new at this. I've only been restoring them since November of last year. Out of the 12 radios I've completed since then, 4 are Philcos, and I'll have 2 more Philcos now. All have been sold. I thought I'd post the Philcos I have done. I'll post the the Radiobar before and after, and the Chairside when it's done. Ignore the knobs on the 42-350. They were only temp until I received the new ones.

I found this http://mulhollandpress.com/styled-2/styl...index.html. It lists the Radiobar as a model 2-1 with an original purchase price of $450. Could that be correct?

Whoops. My mistake. It's actually a 3-3 using a Philco 38-3 9 tube chassis, but it still had an original price of $395.
