Unknown 1936 Philco Console
#22

Yes, but someone down the line pulled the WR three-shaft chassis out of the radio, and likely cut off the shafts to make "dummy" shafts to hold the extra three knobs. It didn't leave the factory without the WR chassis which appears to have been originally installed upside down under the 655 chassis in the cabinet.

I was really hoping we could document that previously undocumented WR chassis, but perhaps this find will somehow result in more of these strange Philcos coming out of the woodwork and, eventually, perhaps one with its WR chassis intact will turn up.

Until then, enjoy your find.
