What do I have? Philco 655
#5

I've got a 660 (L) and it's a fine playing set although it has the H-13 spkr (10 1/2" job). The circuit is very close to the 116B. On the other hand the 665 the difference is the mixer as it uses a pentagrid tube and the 660 use two tubes 77 & 76 like the 116.

As for the sticker I've had a couple of sets that have had a different sticker vs cabinet. One of the ones that comes to mind is a 200X cab w/a 201 chassis & sticker. Ron said that Philco was just using up the remaining cabinets from the 200X's. As a project the chassis is done and works well but both cabinets were in poor condition. I disassembled both to make one.

I not surprised that a cabinet and sticker don't match. On the 201X it was a late run of the chassis, lots of bakelite blocks. It seemed counter intuitive as I would use the old cabinets first but Philco didn't.

When my pals were reading comic books
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.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
