Philco Tropic Model 42-760T
#16

Unfortunately I do not have another 1942 Tropic of this type with a back to use as a pattern for this one. I might use my 53-960's back as a pattern; the 53-960's back is taller and a bit wider, though.

The set probably looks better in the photos than it really is. There is some missing veneer just along the back edge of the top. The entire cabinet will have to be refinished. The chassis will need extensive work as well.
