Are you asking about the Philco logo decal on the front of the cabinet or the Philco model # label on the tube shield? I think the model # label would soften up with isopropyl alcohol though I haven't done it.  If its the front decal, then I assume you are not refinishing the cabinet and are just trying to take off the decal.  I've done that once on a 42-322 cabinet using GOJO (without pumice) and 0000 steel wool to gently take off the decals.  I was lucky and they came off without making any visible difference in the finish...that may not be possible in all cases.  Others may have other approaches.
Cheers,
Bob
