New Philco project on the bench

I also have recently acquired a canadian model 84. Its in perfect condition and runs fine. This is a flea market find and has seen a little work done to it but nothing to change its original character.
I am very new to tube radios and I am having some difficulty in defining the age of this unit. I wonder if someone could help me. Icon_smile

The info I have is that its a model 84 made in canada, which is stamped on a metal plate.
I have posted a couple of pics if it helps.

Note from site admin: Sorry, but the photos which were attached to this post are no longer available.
