Vintage philco model 90 super heterodyne cathedral radio/original finish. Please closely read the description, don’t just look at the pictures. Up for sale is this vintage 1931 philco model 90 cathedral radio. It looks to be in its original condition. The radio does power up with the indicator light lit but the chassis makes a sizzling noise so i quickly turn it off. No picture of the light on because i didn’t want to leave it on that long. The cord is the original cloth covered cord. The knobs are original and turn freely. As you can see from the pictures there are two screws missing that hold the chassis in the case. The speaker grill cloth is original with no holes in it. The grill cloth does show its age though. It looks and feels like the dark spot has melted to the support backing. The case seems really solid and the finish on the case is good (but not perfect) and the cabinet does have some scratches on it due to age. Note the veneer age cracks in the front top half, these are not loose, these are just character marks (examine pictures well). There is a deeper scratch on the right front foot. (see picture) i have taken “howards” to the whole radio and then waxed it. The radio measures about 18 1/2″ tall x 17 1/4″ at the base and 12 deep at the base. See how close you are to interstate 90 or 80 as that is how we’ll be traveling. Anything is possible just ask. This is too nice a radio to just double box the whole thing, wrap it in bubble wrap and away it goes. Work with me on this so it can get to you in the condition its in now. More packages more cost. Also as i noted its a heavy old radio.. This should be a treasured radio for someones collection. Of course, for long term reliable operation, a technician should attend the chassis.The item “Vintage Philco Model 90 Super Heterodyne Cathedral Radio/Original Finish” is in sale since Monday, April 20, 2015.
