Hi,
Interesting cabinet...but it is not an original Philco design.
It looks like it was done fairly well. My guess is that this was originally a console cabinet from some other radio manufacturer, to which someone who was very handy with wood cut and installed a new front panel, drilled to fit the 37-60 chassis.
The speaker is not original. I would further guess that this 37-60 was originally in a cathedral or tombstone cabinet, and later installed in this cabinet.
Who knows, perhaps one could get a PHILCO decal from the Philco distributor back then. It's certainly possible.
Are there any labels inside the cabinet, possibly for some other radio brand/model?
