The U.S. Apex lowboy does compare favorably well to the 1929 Philco lowboy cabinets. One thing I love about the Philco lowboys is that the legs seem to be rather well attached, even though they lack a stretcher, I have yet to fine one with much wobble in the legs. The Apex has also faired well leg-wise, with very little wobble and the whole cabinet is still pretty solid. Turns out they also made a type 48 chassis that went in this same cabinet that had an extre type 24 tube, bringing it up to 8 tubes grand total. Seems to be as high as U.S. Apex went during the 1929-1930 period.
No matter where you go, there you are.
