Hi Keith, and welcome.

Someone on the assembly line at Philco goofed, and put a Chassis 71 decal on an 89 chassis.

This is not the first time I've heard of this happening. Someone once e-mailed me photos of what was obviously a Model 91 chassis, yet it had a "CHASSIS TYPE 19 CODE 121" decal on it!

Someone wasn't paying really close attention in early 1933...

I'm pretty sure there WAS a Chassis 71 Code 125. I'll have to look it up though. 71 Code 125 was probably a model with the three cylindrical tube shields replacing the large hood-type shield on the left side of the chassis (as viewed from rear), and with a shadowmeter.

(edit) By the way, Keith, I saw your photo of the decal in the binaries newsgroup, but not your photo of the chassis itself.
