You should contact Antique Radio Classified and get a back copy of their publiction - March 1996, Vol.13, No. 3 it has a great article on the Bel Geddes designed Philco's of 1931.
Philco financed Bel Geddes over $9,000 to do market research on styling preferences for the high end models 112, 212 & 370.....that was a huge amount of money to spend on cabinet design, but the results were fantastic - very classy modern cabinets which were ahead of there time.
I own a 112 with the 47 output tubes (later version), it's a great radio to look at and listen to.
