Im interested in this radio seller wants $40 but i can see it has some veneer damage to one side.
I only have one photo anybody any idea of model number.
Apart from the veneer damage it looks complete with original knobs.
Reason why im interested is i had a very similar radio back in the UK and it was a good performer
What should i offer price wise?

It is worth $40. if you can afford to lose the money on a wildcard, however if
you are planning on restoring it, first look at the tube numbers.

In Canada, sets like that sometimes had tubes very difficult to obtain.

And that was 50 years ago. :D

Thanks for the heads up i think im going to email the seller, i like the radio i think i will take a chance.
I reckon your right $40 is not too much for that radio.
Thankyou.

The example of this Philips that i once owned was plastic with a photo finish wood grain. The photo finish isn't very durable. i can't tell for sure by the picture posted if this one is also plastic but I've yet to come across one in a wood cabinet.

BTW...i happened to find another in my stash that I'd forgotten i owned. This is the model 725 with a compliment of american 6 volt tubes....6AU6's etc. And like my other one, this one is plastic too.
