Welcome to the Phorum!
Glad you were able to get through the registration, sorry about the mix up on my part. The M 17798 is not a model number. It looks to me like your radio was taken out of a 1948 model 48-1262 (click the highlighted link to see one in our photo gallery). The front panel was trimmed down and then the unit was custom installed into the wall mounting you mentioned. I've not heard of any Philco wall mount radios. The service information for the 48-1262 is found in our library at https://philcoradio.com/library/download...8-1949.pdf
As far as value it is not worth very much as it would be useful only for the parts if someone else was restoring a 48-1262. FYI....Radiodaze sells a reproduction version of the glass dial you have for about $40. Used untested tubes are worth a few bucks each. The rest of the chassis would be of value if someone needed one of the transformers, tuning condenser etc.
Hope that helps, other folks may have other views of my comments.
