Factory installed? Philco 89 Chassis in a Philco 35 Cabinet
#13

Philco's top executives held a meeting every week to discuss the previous week's sales and used those figures to set production for the following week. Being human, they probably made mistakes and sometimes overproduced. The oddball "Phranken-Philcos" that seem to have been coming out of the woodwork during the past year or so are, most likely, the result of those mistakes.

We weren't there in 1934, nor would we have been allowed into that boardroom to witness the large old secondhand desk where James Skinner held court with his top executives every week. Written records have yet to be found, if they even still exist, so all we can do at this point is guess.
