The post war Philco chassis like the 46-1201 are bad enough, but at least those used vinyl or cloth wire rather then the rubber/gutta percha stuff so you don't have to rewire them (usually). I think that Philco must have hired some more sadists as engineers after David Grimes left the company, modular chassis just were not tough enough, so lets make them shallow and narrow instead.
