The gift supreme for Christmas - a PHILCO
#19

To think that I thought my cabinet had been abused! Mine had holes drilled in the side but not in the front panel, and not in the quantity that that poor thing had. I still have to get back to mine, one of the reasons for the holes was that the previous owner had attempted to fit a speaker from a Philco 96 floor model in the back by bolting it to a 2x4 and screwing the 2x4 into place through the sides. I know that it came out of a 96 since I also have the Philco 96 that he owned where he obviously borrowed the speaker from. So the 96 has a speaker, the 3118 does not, I think it was a 8 or 9 inch "pincushion" shaped unit.
Happy Christmas
Happy New Year
