I saw this at the MARC Extravaganza auction this afternoon:

Big deal, another Philco grandfather clock, right?
Look closer:

It has a Philco 89 chassis inside - and from the looks of the front panel, it appears that it may have been made for use with this chassis!
I ended up with it - paid more than I wanted to for it, but this will give me the opportunity to examine it more closely later.
I knew Philco put 52 chassis inside these grandfather clock cabinets to use up excess stock, but I've never heard of, nor seen, an 89 in a grandfather clock cabinet...
