Philco AM/FM Vacuum Tube Radio
This is my Philco table radio that I have owned since receiving it as a Christmas gift in 1966, our first year in our Seal Beach home.
This radio utilizes vacuum tubes for operation, a technology that was already being replaced by solid state construction for consumer electronics by the 1960s. Viewing the schematic glued to the underside of the unit it appears to utilize 6 vacuum tubes for operation.
Philco was part of the Ford Motor Company at that time.
It’s a quick photo that I took in order to fulfill a request by another Flickr photographer to see the radio.
