Doug - Congratulations! 
While Philco did not make a chairside version of this set, they did make a radio-phonograph version - 116PX.

That set should really sound good with its push-pull 6A3 triodes. I recently redid a 680 for someone, and just sitting on the bench it sounds amazing. I can only imagine how this one will sound when reinstalled into its cabinet. Of course, the 680 is a true High Fidelity set with variable selectivity, while the 116X does not have that feature.
