This model uses 6 tubes, runs on a 115-volt AC current, and has broadcast and shortwave waveband frequencies, as well as cone-centric automatic tuning, which was a first for Philco in a chair side model.

The grille design is in excellent condition.
The radio is in outstanding and solid condition. Have not tested it yet to see if it works as is. This is a rare and outstanding example of a pre-war radio and of a significant mark in the history of the Philco company, and this radio.
