Did Philco make a 635B(Tombstone)? If so, can anyone tell me how it differs from the 630B.

Thanks.

Hi Derek

Yes, there is a 635B; it was a mid-season (January 1936) replacement for the Model 630.

The 630B and 635B cabinets are identical; there are some slight electrical differences, and the 635B has a moving shadow-mask behind the dial scale, with openings that allow the dial lamp to illuminate the selected band.
