I'm not sure what the condition of the chassis is underneath (how many capacitors will need replaced etc.) but from the top of the chassis, it looks like it had a mouse living in it for many years. From what I could find out in the Philco Library, the unit I have appears to be 1936 model year Model 60B, and it seems to be missing one shield  for one of the tubes (the only tube in there that had a shield for it).
