Default Re: Oh dear! What have I done!

Philco GB were established in 1931 to import US made sets and the Perivale factory opened in 1935 for production. The radiogram looks to be late 30's judging by the valves (which are american types). Very american cabinet style of course but it would be nice to know if it was made here or imported. AFAIK most american sets of this size made for the home market would've been fairly luxurious both in the cabinet and chassis, your chassis looks much more in line with other UK makers' specs, i.e. less sophisticated, my thoughts anyway
