Hi Claude,
Sure looks like a Philco and if I had to guess at it I'd say a model 60 or 66. That would date it abt 1934 or so. The large tube at the left rear corner has been added. It should be a second electrolytic cap there. The rectifier tube is just in front of it, a #80 tube. A lot of these European set have little documentation here in the states. Cabinets are different looking and chassis are similar sometimes. The 60 and 66 chassis look the same from the top, the easy way to tell them apart is the frequency coverage. 60 only tune up to abt 3mc the 66 abt 12mc or so.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
