It is a chop job, on the antenna it is missing a lower pivot bar. If you look at Philcos they woudl have an upper and lower middle pivot so that you could rotate the antenna, this one seems to be dangling from the upper pivot. I have yet to see a prewar Philco some some metal swivel that supported the antenna without a lower support, look at RCA, Philco, and Zenith (wavemagnet) they have a lower pivot support. I have yet to see a radio without the back-brace along the bottom since without that brace the radio would be flimsy and weak and would break in no time. Great work but missing a few items.
