Unknown 1936 Philco Console
#18

So I picked up this beast Sunday. I apologize heartily for the delay in providing an update. It has been a chaotic week. Work computer died and I'm work from home, strained my gut dragging this radio up onto my back porch ( I miss my 20's when I could carry a side by side phono/radio up a flight of stairs by me self lol). So the bummer is, there is nothing in that area below the chassis. The mystery grows, however, when I saw that the dummied knobs were done at Philco. The jewel light over the dial opening, I was prepared to write off as a later add on but it is centered so well and was never hooked up to anything. Makes me think it might have had something to do with the dingus that never made it into this cabinet. I cannot figure a way to get the 650 tube layout tag off of the one under it to see what it was supposed to be. That might have provided a bit of enlightenment. At any rate, here are the pictures following this message. I need a black 1936 Philco round knob if anyone can spare one. I provided a picture of  quick test area I did onto he left side of the center panel of the cabinet. Bee-yoo-tee-ful veneer. I will save this oddball and post video of it in my living room vibrating the windows, floors, my fillings etc. when I get it done. I just bought my first home in July; a 2 story brick 1930 bungalow with a killer living room. The front bedroom upstairs is my man cave where I'll bring the chassis to life.
