I picked up what i believe to be a Philco model 89 code 123 last weekend at the local flea market. I searched online and I could not find this exact radio cabinet pictured anywhere. I want to figure out exactly what it is and what year it was made. I'm also trying to determine if this is the original finish. It has a yellowish green tint to it from what looks like bleaching from sunlight. There is also no "Philco" decal below the dial. If this is the original finish i'll leave it the way it is but if it was refinished and is the wrong shade i want to do it right. Any information on this radio would be appreciated. I have pictures posted at http://emberglow65.shutterfly.com/
