New 1929-30 Philco Console Variant Found
#1

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?)

Some day, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, accept this justice as a gift

I let go one in MA for a very low price, like $75. Just recently. Forgot what chassis.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

Heck, we all know Philco liked to use left-over cabinets. My model 30 should be in what I call the 'second-generation' lowboy cabinet, but it is in the same one originally used by the model 95 and such instead.

No matter where you go, there you are.

Cute little consoles, and that one looks to be in pretty nice condition.
