Oh, that one again. I thought it sold a few months ago.
I believe it was identified but that the bottom was custom made.

Thanks Ron
I went ahead and paid the seller a visit. Decided to take it home.

That must have been a popular cabinet maker/company because a local radio club member has a philco 71 in that same cabinet.

I have to admit, that cabinet does have a neat look to it.
No matter where you go, there you are.

How tall is it?
Looks like a different solution to 'No stoop no squat no squint'... Put it up higher in the air!

The cabinet does have a distinctive 30's feel, kinda cool.

Nice find ! I wish you would post some pics of the chassis, but perhaps you are saving those for the "electronic restoration" section. I really look forward to following your progress with this radio. Good luck !

Roy, I love that cabinet! Those legs are not likely to come off. Just a unique and pleasing style. Much more interesting than most radios from that era.
