Bel Geddes what?
#5

I seriously doubt that this was done at the Philco factory. After all, in January 1931, the 111 was introduced by Philco, which replaced the 96. Then in June, the 112 superseded the 111.

Now, if that cabinet had a 111 chassis inside, I could believe that it was done at the factory. But not a 96, because of the six-month interval between the end of 96 production and beginning of 112 production, during which time the 111 was on the market.

Those chassis are all the same overall size and have the same shaft spacing, plus they use very similar speakers that can easily substitute for each other, so anyone could have made this switcheroo.
