What Philco chassis is it?
#2

That's an easy one it's a 38-17 code 121 after someone took it apart redesign and almost put it back together. Sorry. Dead giveaway is the screws vs rivets on the tube sockets. Don't know what tubes it's sporting but not seeing a 75 and over by the pt they're look like they don't belong except the 84. Missing the 2nd IF trans too. Oh and wrong knobs.

I have a 38-17F code 124 chassis I can snap a few pics of if it would be helpful. The only difference between the code 121 and 124 is spkr size. You might be better off finding a 38-15 chassis.

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.

Now I think I've got!
