Hi Everyone,

I've just picked up an early Philco lowboy console. I'm planning on restoring it for a friend. No markings on the chassis or inside the cabinet (probably sticker is long ago gone) to indicate the model. It's a lowboy console, 4 legs, 4 knobs, Clamshell shape cutouts for speaker grille. 8 Tube line up is 2 - UX245's, 1 - UY227, 1- UX280, and 4- UX226's. I'm thinking pre-1930 (1928-30). As I've just picked it up tonight I haven't taken any pictures as yet....will do hopefully this weekend and begin by removing the chassis and cleaning it up. I'll see where I am at that point. The chassis itself is very low profile..probably only standing about 2" off the base. Underside of chassis is cutout and has a metal shielding plate.

Would anyone out there have an idea of what model I might have here? I'll be looking for the schematic once I've determined what model this is.

Thanks for any input in advance,
Joe
