Pendersen Amp & Tuna in Philco cabinet....

cooljjay · May 23, 2009

Well a fellow ak'er was nice enough to let me know about this and big thanks goes out to him for that. I didn't have enough money so I was going to pass, told my grandmother about it and she said she would loan me the dough...thanks for supporting my addiction

lol...I went down today and don't you know I couldn't just get the components. I ended up dragging home the huge philco along with it. It is a gorgeous cabinet but to big and no original components to make me want to find room for it. Heres the photo's.

I was looking forward to pics of that huge Philco sticking out the trunk of cooljjay's Benz, but he forgot to snap one

Must have turned a few heads on the 40-mile trip back down the freeway from Sacto to Vallejo

Love the book ended walnut, beauty!

Looks like Diablo in the wood grain under the Philco sign. Horns and all. :scratch2:

You think if I cut that out I could sell it for 10,000's of dollars on ebay like with the god toast

um...wow! I take it that was NOT oem to the cabinet... or did philco make stereo cabinets for one to fill back then?

Nope it was a regular radio console but what I think happened, is it was going to cost to much to fix the original so they shoved this into the place of the philco tuner. Here what it was http://www.tubularradio.com/Philco41-616.html, I dunno if I could find a chassis to make it original again...better yet the place to but a 4'3" tall and wide cabinet...I already have one..

cooljjay · May 25, 2009

Ok, I found the cabinet a new home, a gentle men had the original chassis in rio vista, I took over to him last night, he was really happy. Took a photo of it in the trunk but the camera didn't record it. I just cleaned the pots in the tuner and fixed the power cord, brought it up slowly, sounds very good but the tuner is pulling in to much voltage, blows the dial lights out. listening to it now with my altec hooked up to it. That speaker loves 6L6's.

You probably could have, lol!

Great that you found it a good home, and for the original unit too!

Hard to let beautiful stuff like that go but at some point a person runs out of room.

yep and you should have seen the size of that chassis, there isn't any way I could have ever had one shipped to me and it satay it one piece it was easily 2 ft long a foot wide and at least 1.5 foot high

Good Karma

Did you get your investment back on the cab alone?

Huh, there's one listed in Loomis that looks a lot like that one for $50, "needs repair".

Oh yeah? got a link? I seen one similar awhile back. I only got 95$ for the cabinet, I would have went lower because I wanted it out, to many things in here.

Can't post links here, but search for "philco" under collectibles in sac. Slightly different layout, but very similar to yours. Nice looking unit, a whole lot smaller that the one you just bought and sold

Oh yeah boy thats much tinier, wish the one I picked up was that size. Still can believe I got that thing from sac to here then to rio vista and didn't do any damage to it...well I did brake a small section of trim on the side...but I was expecting serious damage special on the bumpy i-80 drive.

I can't believe you hauled it alone:

you're all quite right, this is a VERY heavy console. Two people can handle it if they're in good physical condition, but it's a struggle.

chicks · May 25, 2009

cooljjay, you may not want to read this

I have a working 41-616W that was professionally appraised in November 1991 at $525.

hmm, i got too looking at the amp and it seems the one transformer is different than the one shown here at hifi lit.http://www.hifilit.com/hifilit/Pedersen/pdq-3.jpg

i wonder if it was replaced at one time:scratch2:

Probably same amp just a different version. Note the 12AX7s are mounted differently as well.
