Well, that is definitely a 66B cabinet.

Now I suspect more than ever that a chassis switcheroo was done in recent decades by someone.

Notice how the power cord has been replaced, and someone also added a strain relief and some electrical tape.

Flip the chassis over and look for a filter choke. Then check the dial scale.

If the chassis has a filter choke and a SW band covering 4.2 to 12 mc, then it is a 66.

If the chassis has no filter choke and a "police" band covering 1.5 to 3 or so mc, then it is a 60.
