Allow me to congratulate you. You have a very rare bird there. Never before have I seen or heard of a Radiobar with a 1940 Philco built in. Depending on whether it is a two band or three band set, it appears to have either a 40-135/40-160 (two band), or a 40-145/40-165 (three band) chassis inside.
Until now, I was under the impression that no Radiobars were made after the 1939 season. Philco bought the Radiobar Company in mid-1938. You can read more about that here:

Once you receive this set, I would really appreciate it if you would send me several photos of this set, including a close-up of the radio control panel and a back view showing the chassis. With your permission, I would like to include these in the link above to document this set. y2k Bruce has already kindly sent me one photo from you, and I thank you.
