Philco 90 SN/Manufacture Date ?
#4

Hi Chuck,

Thanks for the very informative post on this topic. After reading the information on your web page about 'Serial Numbers and Dates', I somehow thought that the rubber stamped date on the bottom of the cabinet could somehow be related to the date the set was assembled.

So, is there a date stamped on some of the chassis which could then be related to the serial number? In the case of my radio, I have serial number 709731, which by the graph should have been built in early October of 1931. I guess it was just coincidence that the rubber stamp on the bottom of the cabinet was also OCT. I am reasonably certain that the chassis in my model 90 is the original chassis installed at the factory.

I would be interested if anyone who has a model 70 or 90 cathedral could look at the bottom of their cabinet and report what the stamped date code is.

BTW, my cabinet has an 893 chalked on the inside floor.

Thanks,

Ed
