One of the most famous American radio brands, Philco started in 1892 as a battery manufacturer, then switched to radios in 1928 as alternating current made batteries unnecessary. Philco became known for its floor radios.
Works beautifully. solid wood.

How much would a radio like this be worth today?
There's one for sale on Ebay right now for $169.00, local pick up only. Shipping for one of these, if done correctly, could be as much as $500.00. The one on Ebay did not look as good as this one and was located in PA. Tom
Have a neighbor friend who has an old Philco model 41-285(0)--not sure about the zero at the end--other numbers were J68625 whch might have been a serial number--she was hoping to get some kind of value on it before listing it for sale--any ideas???
Philco's only console radio for the 1946 season used seven tubes and received standard AM, shortwave from 9.3 to 15.5 mc, and the new FM band (88-108 mc). Has six, push-button, preset station selectors. It operated on 115 volts, AC only.
Original selling price: $129.95
Number made: 34,855
my father has one, its sittingin our living room as of now. what are these valued at in good (some scratches, wear...but not bad), working condition?
any help is very greatly apreciated.
thank you and take care!!!
I have one very similar to this one in my basement, but am not sure of the year made. It doesn't work and I have an individual interested in taking it off of my hands. It was my great grandfather's and had to have been built in the 30's or 40's. There is a number on the tube container in the inside as V73156. Would that be the model of the Philco radio?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you.
I just picked up this floor model today.... its in absolutely beautiful condition after I cleaned it up!! I am so very very HAPPY!! The best part is that I picked it up for ONLY $20 USD. Sorry had to brag a little!! lol Curt, look on the inside to the left there should be a piece of paper it will have a series of numbers like i.e.: 46-??? mine is 46-480. Does the front say philco at all? I am stoked!! I think these 46-480 are rare and it was the first year of the FM band... I think they are worth a lot more!! Most are in horrible condition or not working!!
