Unusual High Boy console
#18

If you'd like to bone up on the 16's here's a good start. https://www.tuberadioland.com/philco16L_main.html

The tabletop sets (B's) and the consoles use the same chassis except for the power transformer, rectifier tube, and speaker. Console sets are larger. Something else that Philco employed in their 1933/34 sets was inter station noise suppression (aka qavc). That's what the switch on the right side of the cabinet turns off and on. There's a control shaft on the back of the chassis that sets the level.

I have one on the bench (the chassis done) in limbo as I need to finish up the cabinet. And a couple of others too. There are a plethora of folks here that are well versed in the workings of Philco sets. Drop by if you have any questions.

Here's a thread I started several yrs ago. https://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthread.php?tid=20055

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
