That's a fine looking little radio! Are those a couple of SW bands I espy?
I like SWL (especially on long, cold, dark, dreary MA winter nights)

Thx guys,getting it to look good was easy since it was in good shape to begin with,I replaced the yellowed plastic with some clear,did some cleaning,got some dark stain and hit the chipped spots,then some lacquer sanding sealer and gloss. The hard part was getting it to work,AK's Charlie got it up and running for me,but the next one I'm gonna do it myself (try to anyway) I can't help but look on ebay for a radio to fix up.

Donny,

Here's a Philco damn near like yours... only this one doesn't have the electronic presets.
