You'll notice that the bezel is brass, instead of the usual bakelite variety marked "PHILCO JR." It looks like the one used on models 51, 52 and a few others. Every Junior I've ever seen has the bakelite bezel. So how do you suppose it got here? Little-known variant, factory error, or swapped by a repairman?
