Both very nice chassis you have there Bob!

Arran. Do you know what the original can caps looked like? I have one with mostly all black, plastic cans marked American Condenser Co. I've never seen those before. The 2 metal cans are clearly marked Philco. I'm guessing they were all metal like the 2 remaining ones? If replacements I'm wondering what time period the repairs could have been made?
