The PhilcoPhone intercom system has no built-in antenna - no need. It was not ever a radio of any kind - just an audio intercom system.
The early Model 901/902 came in boxy wooden cabinets and the later Model 908/909 used the bakelite cabinet similar to the PT -xx series radios.
This later version used the small round chrome remote speakers that many people mistake for a standard microphone. It's simply a PM speaker that can function as a dynamic mic, as other intercoms utilize.
