The top one is an 87 Highboy cabinet. The stretcher base has been cut off, unfortunately. The chassis can't be a 112 using that tube line-up (or that few of tubes either). The 86 chassis used a switch to choose the power input like that one.

The bottom one is the Deluxe Highboy, and looks to be in nice shape!

On the top cabinet photo - Not only has the stretcher base been cut off, but parts of each leg have also been cut off. Yes, the chassis is obviously a 112 with that NORMAL - MAX switch. Only the 111 and 112 had that. And since you say it uses 47 outputs, then it must be a late 112 chassis.

Both are 1929 models. Count the number of tubes in the chassis which is inside the radio in the bottom photo to see what you have.

6 tubes - model 65
7 tubes - model 76
8 tubes - model 87
9 tubes - model 95

Ok. Differences:

Model 95 has a brass dial scale, illuminated from above; Model 96 has a tan celluloid dial scale, illuminated from behind.
Model 95 has a two position local-distance switch; Model 96 has a four position tone control.
Model 95 uses the 1928-29 cylindrical capacitors under the chassis; Model 96 uses Bakelite block capacitors.
(I think) Model 95 uses the older 1929 speaker connector with four pins spaced wide apart - a large rectangular plug; Model 96 uses the "newer" speaker connector which is the same as used on 1931 Philcos such as models 70, 90, 112, etc. - a round plug with four pins spaced closely together, much like a 4-pin tube base, only with one large pin.

And that's about it. Icon_smile They are otherwise the same.
