S.P.A.R.C. Museum

Society for the Preservation of Antique Radio in Canada

An interesting acquisition at the museum (Really! It is an acquisition!) is a Philco Model 20. Our restoration volunteers are truly gifted, but there are limits. We loved this example of the ravages of a leaky barn so much, that the decision was made to make it a display item as is. The photo here of the chassis layout is pasted on the tube shield at the left in the view from the back. The remains are resting appropriately in a child’s “Radio Flyer’ wagon. We have two other hopeless cases of this model at SPARC that are pristine by comparison!
