Quote:I saw a Majestic console in Colorado at a garage sale that is a dead-ringer for this Philco. Wonder if the same company built them for both.

No they were not built by the same company for Philco or Majestic, Majestic was built by Grigsby-Grunow in Chicago, Philco was built by Philco in Philidelphia. I don't know who built cabinets for G.G but it was more then likely one of the Rockford Illinois based cabinet companies, Philco had their own cabinet shops and sometimes farmed out work to outside regional makers if they needed extra production capacity. The chassis are completely different, the Majestic was more then likely a TRF set, probably a model 93 or such which has a similar cabinet style, the Philco 111 is a Superheterodyne.
