Mystery Philco set. - PhilcoPhan1936 - 02-22-2017

An older gentleman friend here in town runs a shop, and has this interesting piece in storage.  My guess is it's a custom job someone very expertly put together as a PA system. Any thoughts anyone?  Can anyone tell what chassis this might be

Looks to be a 116B chassis from a shouldered tombstone to me...

Yeah Sam it just needs a couple of 42 toobs. 10 watts of Philco's Super class A triode connected 42's audio. Just like my 660L
Probably play fine!!!![Image: http://philcoradio.com/phorum/images/smilies/icon_lol.gif]

One of a kind looks to me, perhaps was converted into a pa system with radio for news and entertament  ? I dont see a speaker perhaps external speakers. Very early boom box that you would have to have a long extenstion cord, ait that right Kirk. Its a cool piece.
