Hi Joe
A Philco with the inscription "SUPER HETERODYNE 7" on its escutcheon under the dial window would indicate either a model 70 (AC), or model 35 (battery).
How to tell them apart?
If the cabinet has three obvious screws with rosette flanges on the front panel which hold up the (heavy) PM speaker, then it is a 35. No visible screws in front indicate a 70.
Of course, looking in back will tell the tale for certain. No power transformer and tubes such as 30, 32, etc., indicate a model 35. That, plus a thick multi-conductor cable instead of an AC cord. Otherwise it is likely a 70.
