It was previously thought that the small Philco floor model known as "The Console" only came with first a 65 chassis and later a 76 chassis; and then after June 1930, as a model 30, 41 or 77.
Well, a new variant of this model has been found with a 96 chassis.

It appears to be original, although a caveat should be added that it would be easy for anyone to remove a 77 chassis and install a 96 chassis since they were the same physical size and used the same speaker.
(No, I didn't buy it, but maybe I should have?)
