Description: This is a 1942 Philco radio model 42-PT-95 made in Philadelphia. This Philco was showing it had a hard life but had potential. The light maple veneer required TLC. Removed all of the non working radio guts. Repaired the damage using epoxy & a few supports. Sanded the case adding some toner to even out the look. Repainted the wrap around molding on the bottom & the handle a lite tan to match the original design. The case was finished with several coats of semi gloss lacquer. Cleaned polished the original plastic dial cover, not perfect but original. The gold dial looks very good. Added 2 matching knobs from my inventory since the original ones were damaged. The plastic speaker/dial bezel may not be perfect but is original. Most of the bezels on this model have been bent, broken or look like they melted. The lines & overall shape make this a classic deco radio. I like the contrast of the maple with the tan feet, bezel & handle. Used a piece of vintage speaker cloth to finish the look. Big improvement Please look at the pics. On the inside, I installed a new Bluetooth digital stereo hi-fi audio amplifier with 50 watts in addition to a big 4" Jensen Pro multi range speaker. Yes this classic is now a real boom box. This thing sounds great. Installed the on/off/volume switch with the knob on the right. The other is fixed. All of the electronics are hard wired and secured to the inner supports insure a long life. This is one of a kind Bluetooth speaker that is deco cool. A real conversation piece that makes a grand statement. The back panel new. There is a new electrical plug also. The 1942 Philco deco radio converted to Bluetooth speaker measures a small 13" x 7" x 6" .Will look good, sound great and fit anywhere. Let know if you have any questions. Please look at my other offerings. FREE SHIPPING to the lower 48 states. Thanks. ED
