philco

Been running a pair of philco electrostatic panels (the semi-cylinders, from the 1959 consoles) as tweeters in a triamped system. Was sort of an elaborate experiment, conducted with aesthetics in mind as much as anything else, and it was working well until yesterday…I was making a stand for one...

I, for the life of me, can not figure out for sure what needle I need to purchase for my stereo. I got this console from my grandma and I can with 100% certainty say that the needle has not been changed since the 70s. I have the user manual for the console, but they do not list what needle is...

Hello all, I am a proud owner of some 1989 Klipschorns. I have Fortes and used to have La Scala Industrial. I love the Forte, wasn't as enthusiastic about the La Scala but they were bone stock with original 1988 crossovers. Forte I recapped but haven't gotten around to changing to Crites...

Officially have the tube bug BAD! I have a chance to pick up this PHILCO console for nothing. Literally just have to go get it. I can’t make out the model number but my biggest question would be, is it stereo? Owner says it is but I’m having doubts. You don’t see a lot of threads on PHILCO amps...

I got this as a gift for moving a friend of my mothers a long time ago. I just really wanted something to listen to my Pink Floyd vinyl to. Now I'm curious as to exactly what I have. Helpppppp!

I would like to keep this thread mainly to vintage tube radios tips, tricks, mods, substitute parts and the likes. I would really appreciate averyones input on this to help poore ole boys like me. Although I have many questions, the biggest one right now is: I am redoing a Philco 48-472, 7...

Would anyone have an idea where I could look to find out what needle I'd use in a 1964 console Philco turntable? There was not one in it when I obtained the piece. There is a marking on the thingy that holds the needle, but I haven't found anything at all that corresponds to that number. Any...

The reason for this particular thread is mainly for this: Have any of you run across or even owned any electronic piece (i.e. TVs, stereo equipment, VCR, DVD players, etc.) that you thought at first was made by the brand seen on the front, when it turns out that someone else made it entirely...

Hello, I made a foray into getting my wife's acceptance of my new hobby. Bought a Philco standup AM-FM-Shortwave w/TT that she liked today. It's driven by a 47-230 Philco Amp. I've been searching for a copy of the schematic and service paper work but haven't had much luck. Does anyone on the...

17" screen, built-in UHF tuner

This is just a beater that I keep in the office for occasions like 9-11, Iraq War, etc. Made in Japan. Model Q-1216BR, 12" screen with tube chassis

On the left is the RCA portable like Eric H's. The Philco was a recent score. I need help identifying the Philco.

Such a pain to work on!
