There is an old antique radio I've always wanted…  a Philco cathedral.  I've finally connected with a couple of them now and have had a fun and educational time restoring some of them. 



 

The old tubes used in these machines are quite the technology. 

Advertisements from Philco read: "Use nothing but Philco tubes in this Receiver for 100% Balanced-unit performance
 


The tube shield label is still in good shape after nearly 70 years !

 ...what they look like when actually put together...

 

You can't stop with just one!  Here's the Philco 70, 20, 60 and 50.
