I recently purchased what was believed to be a Philco model 640B tombstone. I do not have possession of it as of yet. It has the strange "flat" band selector knob that appears to be on the model 640 sets. However, it has an 8 tube chassis with what appears to be a driver stage tube. Chassis looks to be a model 650. I should have set later this week. It may be a 650 that someone placed the wrong knob on??

Did Philco place an 8 tube chassis is some of there model 640 sets?

Thank you for any clarification you can offer.

Dave
