Description: This is a very cool deco leaning to streamline 1946 Philco radio model 46-420 called "the Hippo" made in Philadelphia. Saw this at a recent radio show and had to convert it to Bluetooth. Love the wrap around speaker louvers . The original white painted bakelite case was in need of TLC. Numerous cracks/broken parts. Repaired the cracks/breaks before refinishing it in a very cool leaf green color. Removed the non working radio parts to make way for the new electronics. The original plastic dial was in good condition needing cleaning. The original knobs were missing. Used 2 from my inventory. On the inside I installed a new 50 watt digital Bluetooth amp connected to a Jensen 4" multi range speaker. Made a new back panel. Really has a great sound for a small box. Now this streamline deco classic is looking beautiful again. Please look at the pics. This is one of a kind speaker that is cool. A real conversation piece that makes a grand statement. Buy it for yourself or give it as a great gift. Watch & turn up the video. The Philco radio now Bluetooth speaker measures a small but cool 12" x 7.5" x 7" .Will look good, sound great and fit anywhere. Let know if you have any questions. Please look at my other offerings.
