As Robbie wanted me to answer here in the Phorum, here's my answer:

That's a Model 118 chassis, mounted in an aftermarket (non-Philco) cabinet. In other words, one of those custom-made cabinets that you could buy back then for your set. Sure, it has the Philco V cloth, but the cabinet's design cues are nothing like Philco styling of the period; furthermore, this cabinet isn't listed in Philco Furniture History.

Is that an 8 inch speaker? Sort of looks like it. If so, this was originally a 118B chassis; the 118 consoles had an H series, 10-1/2" speaker.
