Philco 90 cathedral measurements & photos
#1

Just bought a super nice original finish Philco 90 cathedral.  Hoping it's a good match to my 70, that I just finished detailing.  Can't seem to find a definitive answer as to what the measurements of the cabinet are.  I know it's a bit bigger than the 70, but how much bigger?  Thanks for any help!

Added photo now at the sellers place.  Crossing fingers on shipping in two boxes...  I think this is a different cabinet wood than my 70 is.  Maybe this is the walnut one?  Seller took a considerably smaller offer for it, than his asking.  Made us both happy.

Haha,
I went to measure and I LOST it! Icon_lol
I know I put it downstairs when changing the library decor but I cant seem to be able to find it...
If I can find it I will measure it.. I know it is about 3" wider and maybe 1"-2" taller...

Kirk,
Thanks. I'm confident you'll find it. Kinda hard to lose that big beast.

Thanks Mike. I'm surprised it's so close in size.

I measured along the trimming and bezel as the largest dimensions.
The hight is exact same, the width and depth are a tad different.
