Hey Everyone,

I've been loking to get ride of some of this stuff now for a while so i finally found some time to do it. Plus i could really use the money for the show next month.

Heres what i have:

I have a philco radio, and it might only be good for parts---no clue on the price so make me an offer

An edison shaving machine,all it needs it the shaver---looking for $150

and some what look like homemade cylinder holder pegs. theres 11 of them so im looking for $10

These price dont include shipping, and with the radio and the shaver, it might be better for me to bring them to Wayne with me and deliver them if you'll be there. But let me know and we could work out the shipping and maybe deal on the prices. I have pictures below. PM me with questions.

Aaron

Aaron, you don't mention it, but that Philco is also a phonograph. It's one of the famous Philco "slot player" phonos. They were made famous by Bing Crosby doing ads for them. Consequently, they are often referred to by radio collectors as the "Bing Crosby" model. Officially, the model first appeared in 1946 as the 46-1201 model. It plays 78rpm only. Philco continued to make variations on this model thru about 1949. Opening the small door in the front exposes the slot. You slide a record into the slot and close the door. The door mechanism moves the tonearm into play position. At the end of the record, the player shuts off. Opening the door raises the tonearm and allows the record to be extracted from the slot. The unit has automatic record size selection between 10 and 12 inch. These models are still fairly common, so they don't bring a high price. You can find them on eBay fairly often.

I'll offer $15 on the PHILCO if it still has the power cord (can't tell if the one pictured is the original, doesn't look like it) and it has it's tubes. Plus shipping, depending.
