Can anyone help with the identification of this Philco radio - see pictures below.

Only identification mark I can see is AB11155 on the rear of the chassis?

Looks looks like a model A535 but in a wooden case

Checked service Data looks as if its an A535W

Cheers

Many thanks Mike - it does indeed appear to be an A535 but in a wooden case.

Can't find anything online about an A535W??

Hi Donald

There isn't one in the Radiomuseum here's your chance to have yours featured

Below is a snip from Pauls Service data https://www.service-data.com/product...74/5548/m14274

I would agree with 'Cobaltblue'. I used to have the Bakelite version of this set.... Same 'Dial' Same 'Knobs', same 'Chassis'. Standard performance from a set with Valves :- 6K8, 6K7, 6Q7, 6V6, 5Z4.
