PHILHARMONIC BEAM OF LIGHT IN WARRINGTON CABINET FOR SALE

[Karl Ayer]

I have for sale a Beam of Light Philharmonic in a Warrington Cabinet. This set was from the Joe Halser III collection. I acquired it before any of the sets went to auction. Joe and I were friends and business associates for over 40 years.
This set appeared to me to be in the best condition of all the sets like this that Joe had. He did a fantastic job of Re-Capping both chassis. Including the Range Expander. The only thing I did to the chassis, besides cleaning it up, is an alignment per the technical instructions. It works and sounds great. I even put a CB antenna on the appropriate Ant Terminal and received stations on 11 meters. I thought that this was quite an accomplishment as the circuitry for the Red Band was not very good at the time this set was built. The On-Off switch on the Volume Control works perfect. No holes or switches on the cabinet. The chrome is even better than the pictures.
I have two boxes of tubes that go with the set. I pulled out all of the big bottles from the amplifier/power supply, and replaced them with modern tubes. I wanted to play the radio and not worry about those pretty old tubes burning out. They are all good. The other box is spare new receiving tubes that were with the set. They go with the radio along with all the technical literature that I have accumulated.
The Cabinet showed light wear from storage. I had a professional cabinet maker/restorer go over it to make it look as nice as possible. He succeeded. The cabinet is beautiful. The Grill-Cloth was tattered. I purchased new AZTEC design cloth from Richmond Designs Inc. My wife helped me install it. It looks just fine. I put Green LEDs in for the dial lights as I liked the result. You can put in whatever you want if you don’t like the green. I can supply the bulbs.
That it! There are a lot of pictures available. The allocated space only allows a few. Just email or call and I will send more. I will not accept less than $2500 for this beautiful radio.
