Philco 40-185 Floor Radio Deal

Post: # 30060Post Hi-Fi-Mogul »

This is a really nice looking Philco, with new grille
cloth provided.

At $25, I hope someone grabs it to treat it well
after it is restored.

I have a model 40 180 that has the same chassis as that model. It is a great performer. Someone should grab that one.....

If anyone local wants it, I have a working chassis & 12" speaker from a '41 (same chassis) for free. I can ship it for cost, too.

I've got the chassis, speaker, and antenna too, probably from the '41 version. My uncle had built it into my grandparents' breakfast room. Long ago, before the house was sold, I spotted the cabinet stored in the enclosed storage area under the big front porch, but had no way to move it back to MI from AL. I've always wondered if the new owners left it there.

Mine is a radio-phono combo. The TT isn't functional, but the AM & SW work OK. Someone ahead of my ownership did a recap, but it now needs the switches treated with Deoxit.
