Just two of the Philco's that went through my shop last year. A model 70 above, and a great looking model 90 below. Both sets
had their tuning condensers disassembled, cleaned in an acid bath, and remounted with fresh hardware and grommets.

This site is maintained for your pleasure, so let me know what you would like to see. My main focus in antique radio is on
wood sets produced from about 1930 to 1939. The bulk of my collection is made up of sets made by E.H. Scott, Zenith, and Philco.
However a few diversions have crept in including several Catalin examples and a number of early transistor sets. Please let
me know if there is area of collecting or repair that I can help with. The picture above is that of an E.H. Scott Philharmonic
chassis in the process of being rebuilt. Best regards, Doc
