531: http://www.philcoradio.com/gallery/1928.htm#f

Philco called this one a "Lowboy" even though it has long legs. Probably because this set is shorter than its big brother 551 which has even longer legs.

Yes, the 531 uses the same 7-tube chassis as the 511 series metal table models.

I really don't know what to suggest as to an offering price. Now, if that were a 551, I would be saying "BUY IT!!! BUY IT!!!" Because, the 551 version isn't seen very often.
