Just picked up this 1930 Philco highboy and I've identified it as either the model 30, 41, or 96. I've downloaded the schematics for all 3 and it doesn't seem to match the chassis I have. This one appears to be a 7 tube unit (tubes are missing) and the schematic shows either a 6 tube or 8 tube. Not quite sure which model I have. Any ideas on what to look for?
