I need to date one of my radio's its a Philco, the Licence number is 365879, 4 valve 6a8G, EL33, 6x5GT, EBF35
Can anyone help and is there a database with all the Licence numbers to look up?

Thanks

Hello Romed22

The best reference is
http://www.hws.org.au/RadioHistory/manufacturers/Philco.htm
for valve lineups but yours doesn't fit.
Do you have a model number, often on an orange label on the back?

Oops - sorry that is Philips radios - Philco is a white lable or metal plate rivetted on
