Description
Black and white 9 1/2″ x 13″ ad for their sets that now have the Scan-Tenna which is described as a “39-inch antenna (which) hides in rotating handle”. The larger picture shows it being extended to different lengths and pointed in different directions to allow you to “pull-in” those faraway stations on the other side of town. The text says this is available on all Philco portables starting as low as $139.95. There is also a picture of the Sportster 96 model with a clear picture without the antenna extended. This ad is larger than my scanner bed so the outer edges of the ad will not be visible in the scanned view.
