I happened to notice a nice one for sale and in searching I discovered that Radio Museum notes a Walnut version. News to me because everything Ive ever read suggests two versions: White and Black/Ebony. I reasoned either Philco used up some leftover cabinets from prior years or someone stripped a white version and found a walnut colored cabinet underneath. Any of you know what was typical with these sets? Ive even heard about a white model from prior years having a black case underneath the white paint....which surprised me.
Here is the blurb from RM so you see what I mean. They mention E as the designation for Walnut and that's contrary to what Ive understood.

And thanks. I was simply curious.
