All right, folks, hold the phone. After further study of the photos, I think I found something.

First, let's review the photos:

The tube layout does not match the 97.

The parts layout does not match the 97.

In fact, the parts layout and tube layout are nearly identical to the USA Model 640!

Other than those two extra electrolytics on the left of the under-chassis photo, mounted to the side of the chassis, it looks identical to a 640 underneath, to me.

Notice also the square tube shields, and the "studs" at the front of the chassis. Plus, the cabinet uses an oval dial which Philco did not introduce until the 1936 season.

So this is a 1936 model set.

I am wondering now, if Philco continued to offer the 98 but built it based on the USA 640 after May 1935?

Hmmm...

Hotwire, can you please furnish a larger front view of the chassis so I can see the dial scale better?
