Hi Ken
That Bulletin issued for "Model 89 Code 123" wasn't published until September 1935, which was well into the 1936 season, by which time the 89 had rectangular tube shields instead of the old round ones, and the "Universal" bakelite blocks instead of the earlier type.
The change to "Code 123" (adding the "police" band and a band switch) occurred three months into production of the 89, on March 15, 1933. Between then and September 1935, several changes were made yet it remained Code 123. Pretty typical of Philco to do things like that.
I have "Changes In Models" sheets showing changes to various models, including Model 89. I'll try to scan those for you tomorrow. If I forget, kindly remind me. OK?
