Looks like you got you a model 76. Here's the bulletin for the 77 it's pretty much the same except for the tone circuit. Your missing the large tube shield that is fitted along the back edge of the chassis. It has the model number on it.

The 112 chassis is similar, as is the model 76, 86, 95, 96, etc., the tube count and components are different of course. I have a model 96 downstairs, it has the push pull #45s as outputs, some models used 71As as outputs, though most were 1928-29 models. The lowboy cabinets often have damaged speaker grilles, the ones with the tapestry were later production cabinets I believe, but the one in yours isn't the worst I've seen.
