Unlisted Canadian Philco 70 variation?
#7

The radio it's sitting on is a Rogers 11-66 (chassis 6R632). It's a pretty solid performer. I rotate what gets to sit on top of it every few weeks so that all my smaller sets get the occasional workout.

The tag on the 70-a/370/? is really odd because as everyone says, the '3' had to have been stamped separately from the '70' - but there's no indication as to when or why. It's a legit Canadian tag and the fact that it's missing the 'A' designation is almost as odd as the presence of the '3.' That's what leads me to believe that it's original, no matter how strange.

It's interesting too that the Philco sets are broken into two groups - the 25-40 cycle sets and 40-60. Most other sets from the time period were 25-60, from what I've seen.
