This Philco model 511 radio came from a estate of a large collection of vintage tube radios, The knobes turn freely and dial for channels. The hand written note shown tells a little history of this one and explains the fact that it requiers a long antenna and that it requiers a speaker. Fabric on the cord is bad and getting stiff, not sure if any bear wires are there from it. The radio has tubes, 6 of them. The radio model is 511 It is called a metal coffin style radio and made of heavy metal. The radio is untested because it needs a speaker hooked up to it. Also as show I like to take pictures in differant lighting, but this is the unit you will get.
