Brand: PhilcoType: Vintage
Amplifier Type: Tube  



Hello, and many Thanks to all the users that helped us make it to our 10th year anniversary here on ebaY! You are bidding on 1- Vintage 1960's Philco model L-1653-121 Tube Hi-Fi Stereo Console AM/FM Radio and 4 Speed Phonograph. Has original BSR 45 RPM automatic record spindle adaptor and the complete schematic is on the inside base of the cabinet. Tubes listed and installed are 2- 25F5, 2- 12AX7A, 1- 6BJ6, 1- 6BH6, 1- 12BE6, 1- 12BA6, and 1- 17C9. The unit works pretty well, but the turntable starts off slow, and the tuner can't seem to pull in many FM stations. AM is loud and clear though. Cabinet is very nice, with only some minor nicks and scrapes, but it is real wood, maybe mahogany, and would clean up beautifully. There are 2- Philco 10" woofers # 36-1653-9, 433242, and 2 tweeters # 36-1673-29, 285240. Measures approx. 38"W x 15.5"D x 29.5"H. I can ship this FedEx Ground, but must be to a legitimate business, and it still won't be very cheap. I'd prefer a pick-up. Please look at the photos, ask for more if you need them, and always ask questions before buying. All Electronics are sold as-is where-is due to their delicate nature. No refunds or exchanges. No Exceptions. No expressed guarantee unless otherwise noted.
