Philco 16 Chassis - Cabinet?
#12

No decal or sticker that I can see anywhere inside the cabinet. I am absolutely convinced that this is not a "Frankenradio". The fit of everything is perfect, an original and faded Philco decal is present on the front of the radio, and everything looks undisturbed, as if the radio is frozen in time. I agree, probably not a custom cabinet, but as Ron said it must be one of those third party cabinets. It would be interesting to know more about these cabinets. Who sold them? Was there a catalogue? Do any of these catalogues survive? Who were the manufacturers? The manufacturing and sales history aspect of this hobby has always been interesting to me.
