The 70 lowboy like you have isn't documented as a 70 cabinet.
I'm wondering now whether Philco ever actually made any of the 70 lowboy cabinets as pictured in the Gallery? I've never seen one, never seen an actual photo of one, never heard of anyone bragging about owning one.
Yet there are examples now of a Model 70 in what was thought to be only a 50 lowboy cabinet.
Given Philco's penchant for pinching pennies, it would make sense that the 70 and 50 both shared this cabinet. There were some 50 cathedrals made using 70 cabinets (with the holes in the front panel drilled for a model 50 instead of a 70). This, too, is undocumented.
