help id this philco
#10

As much as it isn't the correct chassis for the cabinet, the 112 chassis is a "better" unit than the 87 (I believe) that should be in that cabinet, because it is a Superheterodyne design, with automatic volume control.

Unless you are an absolute purist, I'd restore the chassis and leave it in that cabinet. If you find the correct chassis later, it's easy to change. And it gives the poor chassis a warm home during this cold Covid winter.
