It wasn't uncommon for Philco to install chassis in a cabinet that was built for a similar model, usually at the end of a model year (or chassis run) to use up cabinets and/or chassis. In reality, the buyer in the store didn't know the difference. If the radio looked nice, had the features they wanted, and the price was in their budget...

It's really only now when we restore these sets that we have the ability to look back at the history.
