Philco 87 highboy owners
#1

Hi guys,I'm attempting to recreate the missing legs and base of a Model 87 Highboy-can some one measure the legs from the bottom of the leg to the bottom of the square top section of the leg?
Thanks!
Phil

Your looking at 10 3/4".

My 87 Lowboy is 10 3/4 ", the Highboy must be more.

It will depend on whether you have a Highboy (doors that open out) or a Highboy De Luxe (doors that slide). (I see the photo you linked to is the Highboy.)

Highboy - http://www.philcoradio.com/gallery/1929b.htm#d
Highboy De Luxe - http://www.philcoradio.com/gallery/1929c.htm#g

I do not own either one, but if it will help -

Overall height of the Highboy - 47-1/8"
Overall height of the Highboy De Luxe - 50-1/8"

Measure your cabinet body and then cut your legs long enough to make up the difference.

Sorry gents the 10 3/4 is for the lowboy!! Wasn't paying close attention and I always get confused on the high or lowboy cabinets. The 87 is one of my favorites!
