Philco Tombstone Model Number?
#1

I won in an auction a great condition thirties tombstone radio for $28! I believe it to be a Philco 620B  model, but not sure. The labels are missing and there is no Philco decal on the front. The chassis has some differences to the pictures on the net. It has a plug-in speaker connector instead of hard-wired. Above the dial window is a peculiar "light box" with at least 2 bulbs in it. There are several differences in the parts/wiring than other chassis. 

I wonder if its not even a genuine Philco brand.

Any ideas you'd care to share?
