112 Highboy
#3

One note about the tops for both the grille assembly, and the door support.  Both of these assemblies were attached with a piece of newspaper as a gasket between the different attaching locations.  Luckily, the newspaper contained its name and date.  The newspaper is the York Dispatch (York, PA) and the date is Monday, September 1,… Monday September 1st occurred in 1930.   I thought it curious that a York, PA paper was used.  I would have expected a Philadelphia paper.  Did Philco have a cabinet manufacturing plant (shop) in the York, PA area?  The papers look original to when the cabinet was constructed.  The next occurrence of September 1st on a Monday was 1941.
   
One last thing.  The cabinet has 4 large threaded carriage bolts coming through the bottom of the cabinet and just hanging there.  Anyone venture a guess why they are there?  It looks to be original as the bolts removal is hindered by the speaker shelf for 2 of the bolts.  I had never seen this before and was wondering if anyone else had.
   
Now on to refinishing the case parts!
