Well...here it is!

This shelving unit is in my home office, and currently includes the following Philcos:

Top row, left to right: 42-720T; Canadian 35AT (41-712T, painted ivory which was not done originally); 46-806; English Philco (not a Tropic) 261, 1933, chassis similar to a USA model 60

Second row: 41-745T; 42-730T; English Tropic (postwar) A.3641, originally exported from the UK to Mexico

Third row: 42-761T, 39-770T, 53-960 (technically not a Tropic but made like a Tropic)

Bottom row: 42-788T, Canadian 39AT (41-722T), 41-788T

I also have a few more, smaller, USA and UK-made postwar Tropics in the basement.
