Haven't been on here in a while, and it's been a while since I've worked on a Philco.  I picked this up a while back, and assumed it was a 655 chassis in a 650 cabinet.  I went to restore it this summer, and noticed the decal inside the cabinet says it is a model 655.  From what I could find, the 655 has a completely different cabinet.  Was this a case of Philco running out of cabinets?  Wouldn't the original purchaser know that this was done, since it wouldn't 'look' like other model 655's that other shops were selling?  Just thought someone might have some more insight.  

I will say, it's a nice playing set.  I do need to touch up the alignment a bit at some point, but it has great tone and plenty of volume.
