Daniel;
Can you confirm that your set is a U.S Philco model 54, Philco of Canada started re-using old model numbers during the 1940s, and many of those would have used octal and or loctal tubes, a Canadian Philco would have a metal plate on the rear of the chassis. Another possibility would be that it's a British Philco, but I think they used a different model numbering system . The reason I brought this up is that a model 54 from the early 30s and looks like this https://philcoradio.com/gallery2/1933b/#Model_54C

Arran
