Hi Kurt,
Congatulations on your first antique radio! It's a Philco so you are off to a good start! You will have a lot of fun with it I'm sure
As for transporting it, keeping it upright would probably be best if you can do it. Of course making sure it's secured so it doesn't tip over! Not having a truck or SUV I've moved almost all of my console sets laying on their backs without any problems. Just make sure the chassis is firmly bolted to the cabinet. I've had several sets where some, if not all of the mounting screws were loose or totally missing! Also, I usually lay some blankets or padding down to cushion the set during transport. Good luck!
