Philco PT-61 "The Pagoda" (1940)
(wood tube table radio)

Philco PT-61 "The Pagoda" (1940)

A beautiful, unique and rare tabletop radio. This pre-war Philco with a couple of nicknames... mostly The Pagoda & some referred to as "The Jewel Case." Its design is second to none IMHO & ever so unique. Philco sales literature calls this cabinet the "Jewel Case" - "a charming, distinctive cabinet in rare, colorful woods of Mexican Accra, Aspen, and Birchwood." This particular radio has had an older electronics restoration and cabinet refinish; plays great across the AM dial with very good sensitivity and lots of volume. Only 12,510 units were manufactured. A beautiful design that has made this model extremely popular with collectors. Original back, swirled Plaskon knobs, lighted dial, dial cover, speaker, etc. Era correct new grille cloth. Very clean chassis. Factory tags on bottom + back as you can see. The cabinet sits on a one piece solid curved wood leg base which extends approx 1" beyond ends. Ready for play/display. 12"W x 6-1/2"H x 6-1/2"D.  $429.00. (1640338)
