Console Grand speaker - Brad Winder - 01-14-2018

Hi everyone,

I am attempting to complete a 1928 "Console Grand" speaker. The cabinet has beautiful original finish, but was missing it's actual speaker assembly. I located a nice working on on evilpay...I guess I paid a bit much for it, but I asked myself when the last time I actually saw one up for sale, let alone a working one., and with a nice original cord.

But now I need one thing to finish it...the bottom of the legs have been cut off! I assume this was done, because by "trimming" a couple inches off the leg height, it is now the right height to be a side table for your chesterfield!

What are the chances of finding matching legs, to salvage the bottoms off? Did Philco use a same/similar leg on any consoles?

Baring that, I could turn new ones on my lathe, if I knew the height and diameter...

It appears the 86/531 Lowboy (with drop-down front) uses the same legs.

Perhaps someone here who owns one might measure a leg and provide dimensions? (I don't own one, sorry.)
