Once Philco serial numbers reached 999999, instead of going to seven characters (1000000), instead they added an A at the beginning and retained six characters. So, the next number after 999999 was A00000.
Once they reached A99999, they went to B00000.
And so forth and so on.
Some time during the rubber-covered wiring era, Philco finally began to use seven characters in their serial numbers. This was probably around the time they stopped stamping them into the chassis and started putting them on metallic stickers instead, which were stuck to the chassis.
