Interesting Packaging
#2

That's neat about the 1937 Philco dial...

Philco did make some tables to go with the Baby Grand (cathedral) sets, but they are fairly rare and hard to find.

I have one of them, the June 1931 version of the Baby Grand table:

These sold for only $1.55 in 1931, and only 6000 were made.

An earlier version, with turned legs, also exists. I saw one once at Radiofest in Elgin one year. I have a photo of it somewhere.

While it was made for a Model 70 or 90, mine is rather rickety and I don't trust it to hold one of those up anymore, so it sits with nothing heavier than a small table model set.

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
