Welcome to the Phorum! Could you possibly provide photos of the chassis? That would help identifying what model radio, anyway. I'm leaning toward it being a model 20 chassis based on what looks like the three operating knobs and the escuteon. Appears to have been cobbled into another makers cabinet, and not a bad job with the exception of the glaring red indicator bezel. Take care and BE HEALTHY! Gary

On first look the tuning knob is correct for a model 20, but the on/off and volume knobs are not. What are what look like black checkers on each side? The escuteon is a model 20, but would benefit with a brass screw instead of the sheet metal screw now attaching it. Others can jump in on the possible cabinet maker. Definite has the looks of a "Franken-Philco". Take care and BE HEALTHY! Gary

Hi Sal,

Sorry to say that Gary is right. It's either a Philco model 20 or 21, in another manufacturers cabinet.

The cabinet looks like it belonged to a FADA lowboy of 1930-31 vintage, regardless someone added an adapter plate to the front panel to accommodate the different knob locations of the replacement chassis.

Arran

To spc091:

Please post a back view of the set so we may see what is inside. Thanks.
