I agree with Arran its a 35. Has the rosette screws holding the speaker in place and is missing the power transformer. The fact that its battery operated makes it less desirable to some, particularly because it requires 4 separate battery voltages to operate, 67.5v, -22.5v, 2v, and 135v.
You said there were 5 radios that you inherited. If you could include pictures of all 5 we might be able to let you know if you have something really special. A Philco 70 sold on eBay in May 2025 for $215 in unrestored condition with a good condition cabinet. The model 70 is one of the more collectable Philco radios. Most radios from the 30's and 40's sell for less than that in unrestored condition. It depends very much on the condition of the set.
