To get things going on this thread again, here's a Philco Franken-Tropic on eBay.

http://cgi.ebay.com/280600630145

I have an interest in Philco Tropic sets, and this one caught my eye. However, it has some issues which have made me decide to pass on it. The main one being, the 39-750 chassis is not in its original cabinet; it is in a 1941 model 41-758 cabinet.

I own a 41-758, which is how I know this. Philco did not make that cabinet during the 1939 season.

The back cover taken from a Peruvian television also doesn't help. But it is due to the chassis being in a cabinet that is two years newer that is causing me to pass on it.

Oh, and to bring you up to speed with the 665 chassis and the late version 116B cabinet...I no longer own either. Sold them to a friend who had a 665X cabinet and a 116 chassis. Now he has two complete sets.
