Re: Philco 46-1203

My Magnavox Berkshire has all of the equalization settings. RIAA, LP, 78, and EUR. Playing a 33 (LP) record and selecting the different equalization setting you can hear the frequencies change, mostly adjusting the mid to upper range.

Re: Philco 46-1203

I think that means you have a 1948 instead of a 1946. The tubes appear to be the same so I am not sure what the actual difference would be other than model number.

Re: The price of gas went down...

Gas dropped here again today, it is all the way down to $4.69 from $4.99. It will either stay down over the holiday weekend or go up 40 cents today or tomorrow. Shall we spin the bottle and see what happens. :shock: :roll: :lol: :(

Re: Philco 46-1203

I have seen that model, or at least one that looks like yours, at estate stales, antique stores, or auctions. I always thought they were nice looking and if the radio plays like most Philco's it should work great.

It is weird not seeing the magnet in the normal spot, and this is the first time ever seeing a speaker like that, thank you for sharing that photo.

Re: Motorola SK29, now mine!

Nice MCM Motorola, you did good with this find. And, I am sure once done it will look just like the one in the Ebay ad. Interesting, I do not see a separate pair of tubes for the center channel. Or, the center channel is PP and the outside channels are single ended. I am sure as your restoration sto...

Re: Finally Retired

The health care/Medicare-supplement mess is really not that bad to deal with. Finding a good agent is the best way to do it as each state is slightly different on the plans they offer. In Michigan you can change Advantage Plans every year if you want. If you have a Medigap plan like I do you are pre...

Re: Finally Retired

I have the old fashion Medicare, Medicap plan for my supplement. The premium can be costly but I pay nothing when I go in for whatever. I had 5 days in the hospital back in February with a bill of over 60K and I paid nothing, other than the premium of course.

Re: The price of gas went down...

It went from $499.9 here to $479.9 yesterday as well. Not as cheap as your price but better, they are practically giving it away. :roll: :lol:
