Does anyone know exactly what this Philco radio i have is? The Chasis says type 89 Code 123 but I have never been able to find another pictured anywhere just like it. There is no decal on the front and looks like the clear coat is sun bleached. I'm not sureif it was refinished or if there should be a decal.

Sorry for not replying sooner.

That is not a factory Philco cabinet. There were companies back in those days, offering custom aftermarket cabinets for various radios. It seems a number of Philco chassis were put into these aftermarket cabinets, and yours is one of them.
