There are literally 100's and 100's of photos, nearly all in color. The shots are bright, detailed, and large enough to help you identify nearly any Philco model ever produced through 1942.Author Ron Ramirez has organized and presented the right information in the right order. After presenting corporate history, each chapter then reviews by model year the Philco line and its technical advancements. And, each chapter has large color photos of models from the year it covers. This approach is hugely more satisfying than having to refer to photos in a section of the book far removed from the subject.The content and organization are incredibly helpful to collectors and dedicated fans. The flow is superb with the book's chronological organization. Many photos have very detailed captions explaining features of the particular model presented. The information is precise and dependable.Data tables are nicely organized. Chapter 16 lists Philco tube radios produced by year from 1928-42, along with number of tubes, power source, and cabinet type. One appendix shows chassis sketches with tube layouts for the various models. This is valuable information for collectors and restorers. Another appendix includes a value guide organized by model year.This volume is sure to delight collectors and tube radio fans. Complaints? None. The author and publisher have done a superb job of documenting the technology of a bygone era. This may be my favorite of the many books I have on tube radios.Tip: No value guide can account for all variables. However, if you are looking for a single-volume source of data and price information on Philco and a wide variety of other brands, I recommend the latest edition of "Collector's Guide to Antique Radios: Identification and Values." ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Informative history and models *by C***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2014* Well written history with ample color photos and B&W illustrations. Has valuable information such as tube location, products, rarity scale and estimated value. Adequate quality printing although new edition is printed in China rather than the US. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars This IS the Bible for Philco Radios! *by E***. on Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2014* If you're into Philco (tube) radios from the past, this is the book for you. As I repair and generally fix up or look for new Philcos to buy, I'm contently referencing this book, looking for info and pictures. The price guide is, of course, a bit dated but something like that would have to be updated monthly as the value on these radios is dependent on to many factors including condition and what the current market demands. I've dealt personally with Ron on various antique radio forums and he's always willing to provide his expertise. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/6569384-philco-radio-1928-1942-paperback-january-31-2006](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/6569384-philco-radio-1928-1942-paperback-january-31-2006) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
