Ultra Rare Kutztown Find - PHILLYPHILCO - 09-20-2011
Kutztown was great as usual but I came across this rare little guy around the perimeter of all the action. It's a rare chairside with a 118 chassis. With only 500 made my chances of finding the speaker attachment is about as good as Ron Paul getting elected president I won't quit looking though! Maybe I can hook one up inside?
Note from site admin: Sorry, but the photo which was attached to this post is no longer available.

Welcome...and Very nice catch!
Very good price, too.I once had the separate speaker cabinet that matches your set, but I later sold it. If I still had it, I probably would have sold it to you. Sorry. As you know, the separate speaker cabinets for any of the 1933-36 Philco chairside sets are very hard to find.
I can tell you that the separate speaker cabinet which went with your 118RX used a PM speaker inside. I seem to recall that there was also a small box that contained a choke to substitute for the field coil used in most 118 models.
A skilled woodworker like Kenny Richmond or Steve Davis could probably make a replica, if he had several photos and the original dimensions. You can see an original here:
