The Fine Things are Always Hand Made

Hello Kent,
I just acquired a 1938 30 tube Philhamonic pointer dial with 8 knobs plus the tuning pair. s/n AA200.
The power supply/amp is like the one on page 101 in Marvin Hobbs book showing a FM-AM Philly.
Appears to be a bit more power with this one. Should be able to drive a 15" and a pair of 5" tweeters.
I guess about 350 of these were built with appanent variations.
You got another s/n now. Jim.

Thanks for the number. I already had record of AA-200....I do not keep track of who sent me numbers, but I have apparently had that serial number before. I'm curious about where you got the 350 sets number...based on serial number analysis, Scott built about 3000 Philharmonic sets of all variations from 1937 to 1941. The Philharmonic is the 3rd biggest production, behind the Allwave 12 and the Allwave High Fidelity (23 tube).
If the set is missing the speakers, they will be difficult to find. Keep an eye on ebay for speakers, they do turn up there occasionally. If you need any other info, let me know, I have an extensive library to draw on for technical info, etc.
