Looks like a nice one. You can be sure that it will be a performer; all of those 36-38 Philcos were. (I'll see you on Saturday). Before you go off a cliff on the cabinet finish, clean it well with Go-Jo, and see just what you have. From the pictures, it looks like it never has been abused.

This is one of the models where the ads said: "No Stoop, no squat, no squint"
