Philco Furniture History states 3,650 14LZX sets were made, not a large number considering popular Philco models were made in the high tens of thousands or even in the hundreds of thousands.
How many might still be around? I have no idea. I have seen the chairside radio part here and there, but the speaker cabinets are very difficult to find. Some of the speaker cabinets may have been repurposed as hi-fi/stereo speakers, then later tossed. That is just a guess. I really don't know why most of the speaker cabinets have disappeared over the years. So you are lucky indeed to have found a complete set.
