Frankenphilco?

Can't find this in the gallery. Lowboy with a 1935 escutcheon? Maybe a replica?

Methinks it was a 90 lowboy cabinet w/a '36 chassis.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!

Got the seller to send me a pic of the back.

Looks to be a 650 chassis. Nice upgrade from the old skool 90. Even though it doesn't match. When the convertion was done the dial escutcheon was too tall so the non shadow meter one was used so not to cut into the trim.

It also appears some modification was done around the knobs. I believe that the lower center knob should be raised above the other knobs, but in the pic they all appear to be level.
