Up for sale is a Philco chair-side Radiobar from 1939. It says Radiobar with Philco on the decal under the dial and knobs.There is also a metal tag inside the bar area that says made by the Radiobar Company of Los Angeles, California. Radiobar used to make deluxe cabinets and ship them to Philadelphia where Philco would add a speaker and chassis. The only example of Radiobars I can find anywhere on the web are the upright console version. This is the only chair-side version I have seen anywhere. Bob Lane, the premier radio collector of Kansas City, who has collected for over 50 yrs, has never heard of or seen a chair-side Radiobar. I think this is a very rare bird indeed.The condition is just as I found it. Finish not too good, but all veneer tight and flat. The bar section pulls away smoothly and evenly and the lid was never abused, it's hinges are tight and work fine. All the bottles and bar gear are gone. The chrome is original. I have not tried to polish it or any of the wood. No Howard's or Kramer's has been applied. It is as found.The cord was very brittle, so I did not apply power to the radio. That is untouched too. This chassis appears on radioattic under 39-6151 as a 5 tube table model radio. As far as shipping goes, I cannot ship this Greyhound, as their cutoff insurance point is $100. You will either have to get a shipper
