Gentlemen, i have this Philco Chassis for a 116 with a DeLuxe factory nameplate. I have never seen such a nameplate. Did it signify anything, is it unique in some way? thanks.
Hi Wilbur, it signifies a chassis that was originally built for export. Obviously it was built for sale in a country which was on the 110-120 volt AC standard, which would leave out many parts of the world which used a 220 volt AC line voltage. It may have originally been sold in Mexico; I know of a 16B that came from Mexico with a metal tag like that.
Wilbur,
I second Ron.
If it was a Canadian-built set, it would have almost the same tag, but would say it was built in Canada by Philco Products Ltd.
......excellent, thanks, men.......hope to see you guys at kutztown in may.....
