Philco Radio Chassis Identification
#1

Hello,
 
I received a radio chassis from a friend.  It came with a Philco Model G speaker and I am sure the chassis is a Philco.  It has 7 tubes but does not seem to match a Model 511 or Model 86 chassis.  I want to restore it to working condition so my kids and grandkids can see how early radios worked.  I plugged it in and all tubes lit up except what I think is the rectifier tube (80).
 
The identification tag is mostly gone but I can make out Philedelphia Storage Battery Co. on the very bottom of the tag.
 
Would you help me please identify the chassis.
 
Thank You,
Rich Marchese
