[NJARC] Looking for info on Philco E105

[Aaron Hunter]

Dave

The "Philco" General Electric E105 is listed in the Stein "Pre-War 
Consoles" at $375.  It is described as a 10 tube set.  It has the 
broadcast band, a second band, 1680 KC to 6000 KC and third band, 6 to 
18 MC.  It has "Colorama Tuning", the dial scale turning from red to 
green while tuning stations.  Listed as having a 12 inch speaker and 14 
watts max. output.  I guess the "Colorama Tuning" is the reason for the 
high value placed by Stein.  Given the condition described for the set 
in question, I would be surprised if it sold for half that amount.
