A curved tuner arm rests on the side. There are regulating switches on either side of the turntable. The front panel reveals a 5-band radio. On the back are several valves and a maker's plate. A large Rola speaker is fixed at the base just behind a cloth grill on the front.

Kia ora Madeleine, wonderful to hear that your Philco radiogram still works! As a public museum MOTAT is unable to provide valuations, auction houses however frequently offer valuation services.

I have one of these. It still works. Been in our family for decades. Is there a sale value?
