I can't say as I blame them for not wanting to waste cabinets, or extra chassis, that they may have had laying around. It looks like during Philco's first few years in the radio business mixing and matching chassis and cabinets was the norm and not the exception. I can't believe how long they were using the 1929-30 lowboy cabinet with how many chassis, everything from a model 65 chassis to a model 111 ( I think), even more if you count the older version with the fan shaped grille.
Regards
Arran
