I suppose I should start a registry of odd and unusual Philco sets.
I've seen things like a 1933 Philco 16L with a 1935 4-band chassis and rectangular dial scale...the front panel was cut for the rectangular dial scale at the factory. Unfortunately the cabinet was too far gone to save.
A Philco 91 chassis with a "Chassis Type 19" label.
A Philco 89 chassis with a "Chassis Type 71" label.
A Philco 38-643B with the 1937 type 37-643B cabinet.
Two Philco 52 grandfather clocks - I own one, the other was in someone else's collection.
A Philco 470/490 console - only it has a Model 51 upper chassis instead of a 70 or 90.
Several early Philco 50 cathedrals in Model 70 cathedral cabinets - at first I thought something was fishy, but enough of these have turned up to establish their authenticity.
And Gary's 37-610T with a 38-610 label inside.
