Rare Philco model 201
#5

Good catch, Terry - failed to notice that initially.

Steve Geary (azenithnut on ARF) has a 201X with two extra holes just like Fred's radio. He brought the chassis over here a couple years ago, and after careful inspection, we came to the conclusion that it was either a factory prototype or someone had taken some liberties with it. Maybe Philco built more than one prototype before putting it into production (with four controls in front rather than six), and maybe Fred's is another prototype?
