Peck & Hills Furniture Company

Alan, Jesse French did not make their radio chassis's, they were a piano company who decided to dabble in radios for a couple of years.  Their most popular set, the model G or Junior had a Loftin White chassis made by Sterling in Cleveland, Oh.  

So while you're most likely correct that Peck & Hills Furniture bought the chassis from someone else, it would not have been Jesse French.  I don't recognize the chassis in your radio, but if you look/ask around long enough you might spot who actually made the chassis.

Looks kind of like a Day-Fan. I know that there was one of those chassis on the pile, I'll see if it is still there.

Thank you!! I don't think that there is any doubt that I have a Day-Fan. The chassis is identical is most ways. 

Now I seem to have a Model 5096 Day-Fan chassis, possibly a General Motors Corp. since they bought Day-Fan in 1929.

I haven't been able to find a 5096 schematic, but hopefully I can work off of a similar one. Anyone able to find a 5096?

Pretty interesting doing the reading and seeing the piano industry fretting over radio.

Thanks again, looks like Peck & Hills Furniture and Jesse French Piano both used some Day-Fan chassis'

Alan, sure, no problem.

I did spot that chassis. It has been outside getting washed, but that won't hurt most of it. If you need any parts let me know, soon, as it is on it's way to be recycled. Or if you want to drive up - - it weighs a ton and the potted parts weigh half a ton.

Would you ever think of making a new set of "legs", or know a woodwoorker?
