I once had a model 211 which was very similar to Jerry's set but included an RP up top and shorter legs. 11 tube chassis and RP.
I bought it from Tom the Wom and several years later sold it to a big Philco collector an hour North of Fort Wayne Indiana. I believe this was the original finish and you can see the similarities to Jerry's 111 set.
The quality and eye appeal of the cabinetry was exquisite. When I received the set, the chassis had shifted in the wood shipping box and the tone control shaft was sheared off.
I later had it restored by Dennis Williams in Orlando and he subbed in a variable tone control which worked much nicer as compared to the preset stepped control original to the chassis.
