The Philco model 32 is a 32 volt DC set. Its design is based on the model 89, but modified for 32 volt DC operation and using a separate vibrator power supply which mounts on a shelf above the chassis (cathedral and tombstone). Not sure where the power supply mounts in console versions as I have never seen one.
You could grab the cabinet and install a Philco 89 chassis, it will fit perfectly and be as close to being "correct" as you may get. Plus, you will have the benefit of a radio that you can simply plug in the wall (once properly restored, of course) without worrying about building a power supply for it.
I have a 32B tombstone with a modified 89 chassis inside. I wrote about it here:

Show us some photos when you get your cabinet!
