Now I've done it...One Bucket List set FOUND!
#33

Thanks to reading about Ron's GREAT find, I dug out my MP VI today and its chrome is surprisingly good.
A fellow I know and trust is stopping by next week to pick it
and another MP 2 set up to take with him and hopefully get them both going again.

My VI set's serial number is H-84028,
way way different than Ron's set's serial number, AND get this it's only a 20 tube set, not the 21 in Ron's.
Mine is missing the tube directly in front left center as you look at the front of the set.

Also, I am now sure the Philco I am having cut down by Kenny is the 112X with the single speaker opening,
perfect for a 12" speaker and some chrome sitting on top the cabinet.

Here are some photos today of my MP VI. It uses a female connector on the back of the chassis to connect to the amp.
Also, note the bare wires on the right inside. Lots of them on some long runs. What's that all about ??

Thanks to Ron R's help, it looks like my MP V speaker can be made to work on the MP VI set so all will be well in the world then.

Check out all those caps in there and it seems the insides are different to some degree from Ron's set too.

Note on the treble control, to the far left is a Beat Oscillator setting. This creates a whistle that lowers in tone
as you tune in a station. It works on BC as well as the SW bands.

Also, on the Fidelity control, you can see the adjustable IF settings of 4K, 8K, 12K and 32K width
and then there is a phono and finally a Mike setting.

The amp uses 2 6L6 output tubes but that 18" speaker can really thump it out and these could be used as an auditorium speaker setup.
