I have a Philco chassis marked 38-1525 that I am trying to identify.   It came in a tombstone cabinet marked 38-643.  The chassis has simular rf coils and tuning mechanism to a 655 but has all metal octal tubes.  It also has two phone Jack's on the back of the chassis for audio input.  The wiring is original so I doubt that it was upgraded with more modern tubes or belongs in this cabinet.  The power transformer is toast but the rest may come around.  Does anyone have any info on this chassis?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks
