The second style, Model 84B was  Philco's Baby Grand price-leader for 1935 and was one of the least expensive such sets available at the time. It was often promoted by Philco as a second radio for the home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis has been in my possession for ~60 years, I used it in the late '60s but today it only powers up and hums. I rigged a 10m dipole antenna and I 'think' I can almost hear the super-het whistle when tuning, but no signal. All 4 tubes light up and the filament and plate voltages measure OK.  I think if you want to re-cap the chassis it just might work. It is all original and intact and an easy restoration project if you're inclined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 84B's chassis is a 4-tube AC-powered regenerative superhet, covering standard broadcast and the lower end of the old police \u0026amp; amateur band (540 to 1740kc). The tube line-up is 77 (mix\/LO), 77 (IF\/2nd det), 42 (af power amp) and 80 (rectifier).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe cabinet is in decent condition, as are the knobs. The grill-cloth needs replacement. I won't vouch for the speaker because I haven't removed it, or the chassis from the cabinet. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe radio is 14 inches wide 8-1\/2 inches tall and 6 inches deep. Weighs about 10lbs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Philco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45089212104904,"sku":null,"price":199.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/5444\/6280\/files\/PXL_20260525_010220600_2.jpg?v=1779678976","url":"https:\/\/reticulum.online\/products\/philco-model-84b-cathedral-radio-second-style-1935","provider":"Reticulum","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
