Which Philco model is this?
#1

Closest I could find was 28D/49D/118D:

But grill work looks different.

Sure looks like one of the ones you pointed out. Only 1000 made including all three. Pretty rare if that's the case.
#3

Yeah - actually the grille work isn't shown in the gallery pic - must've been thinking of a different one.

I'm wondering if it's an AC/DC set (28D?) since I don't see any largish power transformer - at least not clear in that pic.
#4

Yes, it's a 28D - as you pointed out, no power transformer.

And that is a very impressive cabinet! Icon_thumbup Icon_thumbup

Thanks for the confirmation Ron!
I found listing for this listed locally for $100 - but it's been a while since it was listed. Hopefully will hear back from the seller. Icon_smile
