THIS RADIO HAS BEEN SOLD!

Again we have the classic Philco 90 designed by Edward Combs. These radios are large and heavy to today's standards. Despite that the Philco 90 was referred to as a "midget" radio, much smaller and offered a much more attractive design. In the 1920s and early '30s the only radios available were the "coffin" style and large, heavy consoles. The model 90 also used the new, better performing superheterodyne technology which was eventually used by all radio manufacturers. There is a four-step tone control for better control over the radio's tone. This is the second series production of the model 90. It has nine tubes and is an AM-only radio. All of the tubes and resistors were checked, replacing where necessary. We installed a new power cord, an audio input cable for an external device, and a safety fuse. This radio was aligned, and has wonderful tone and volume with great sensitivity across the dial. Gary produced a gorgeous semi-gloss finish. The radio retains its original speaker, chassis, dial scale and knobs. We installed a new period correct grille cloth. It's an awesome radio, beautifully restored and ready to compliment your collection. 18-1/2"H x 17-1/2"W x 12"D.
