Hmm... The 87 has the same control shaft "footprint" and I'll bet the metal cabinet is from one of the other models I mentioned that did use this style cabinet. Or it's an undocumented version? Or a Philco dealer did a "factory conversion" when it was new?

Maybe Ron can shed some light on it next time he "comes up for air." I don't have access to his Philco Furniture History data.

That cabinet is not from the 500 series though, since there are no toggle switch or phono jack holes in the "gold" bezel lower corners.

Interesting.... Icon_smile

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
